Autumn Wind
Blows tender leaves
Past the gate
I watch as they tumble
And I think I know
What it means
When they say
That your back’s
Against the wall
I’ve had my dreams
But I've done put them away
Now I’m waiting
For the sun to return
And tomorrow, will you
Remember the names
Of the faces
Without homes?
(Bridge)
Will you remember
In cold and gray December
The names of all the faces
In dark and hiding places
Autumn wind blows strong
The memories are gone
Autumn wind blows near
No home and full of fear
(Chorus)
Miss Liberty
Have one on me
‘Cause I can’t stand to see
Your pain and misery
Hearts burning tender
The memories sting
So many lost things
On Autumn Wind
Pride, it used to run
Through our veins
But that is over
All that remains
Is sorrow
Thinking of all that we had
But all that glitters isn't gold
Will we stand
And take an honest account
Of the love
We often brag about
Will we listen
To the ones crying out
Or will they ride
The Autumn Wind

This tune is particularly poignant for me as I have become homeless as of November 2023. I couldn't have known back in 1992 that I was writing about myself. Please consider donating to my GoFundMe Campaign https://gofund.me/8d6a1e034
