[00:00.00]When Fall comes to New England
[00:03.93]The sun slants in so fine
[00:07.86]Words and Music by: Cheryl Wheeler
[00:11.79]And the air's so clear
[00:19.17]You can almost hear the grapes grow on the vine
[00:26.97]The nights are sharp with starlight
[00:31.98]And the days are cool and clean
[00:37.80]And in the blue sky overhead
[00:42.99]The northern geese fly south instead
[00:48.00]And leaves are Irish Setter red
[00:53.76]When Fall comes to New England
[01:05.28]When Fall comes to New England
[01:10.35]And the wind blows off the sea
[01:16.47]Swallows fly in a perfect sky
[01:20.58]And the world was meant to be
[01:25.65]When the acorns line the walkways
[01:30.93]Then winter can't be far
[01:36.66]From yellow leaves a blue jay calls
[01:41.70]Grandmothers walk out in their shawls
[01:46.89]And chipmunks run the old stone walls
[01:52.68]When Fall comes to New England
[02:04.32]The frost is on the pumpkin
[02:06.90]The squash is off the vine
[02:09.47]And winter warnings race across the sky
[02:14.55]The squirrels are on to something
[02:16.53]And they're working overtime
[02:19.56]The foxes blink and stare and so do I
[02:24.36]'Cause when Fall comes to New England
[02:29.67]Oh I can't turn away
[02:35.52]From fading light on flying wings
[02:40.62]And late good-byes a robin sings
[02:45.72]And then another thousand things
[02:51.54]When Fall comes to New England
[02:57.78]When Fall comes to New England
