Jim Martin: LISTEN!

Autumn

-J. Martin-
Autumn calls
As leaves fall
And cling onto anything that moves

Logs stacked
And bags packed
As snowflakes mount fast on my roof

Though it's mind over matter
My thoughts are all scattered
I'm homesick and here on my own
Miss my mom and my girlfriend
My dog and my old man
My neighbors and buddies back home

Fertile terrains
And pine plains
And dew on that prairie grass at dawn

Cold winds blow
As stars above glow
And all of the cotton fields are gone

Though it's mind over matter
My thoughts are all scattered
I'm homesick and here on my own
Miss my mom and my girlfriend
My dog and my old man
My neighbors and buddies back home

Autumn calls, leaves fall
Autumn calls, leaves fall

Autumn calls
As leaves fall
And cling onto anything that moves

Logs stacked
And bags packed
As snowflakes mount fast on my roof

Though it's mind over matter
My thoughts are all scattered
I'm homesick and here on my own
Miss my mom and my girlfriend
My dog and my old man
My neighbors and buddies back home

Autumn calls, leaves fall
Autumn calls, leaves fall...
