I have tried to find you in the storms of winter
In the April rain I listened for your call
In the spring I felt you waiting in the summer
But you came to me, you came to me in fall
With a gentle turn and a homeward call
You came to me, you came to me in fall
I have looked for you to split the sky asunder
To crash into my life like a waterfall
I have prayed your holy flood would take me under
But you came to me, you came to me in fall
Like a tumbling leaf from a tree so tall
You came to me, you came to me in fall
And when the fields are gathered in and
When the harvest is over
When a chill is in the wind and
I find that it's time to turn homeward
When the geese are on the wing and
When I'm finally feeling older
I will cease and settle in and
Hear you calling me home
I'll come to you, I'll come to you in fall
I'll come to you, I'll come
When the seasons turn I will not forestall
I have wondered if I lost you in the winter
If the roots were frozen solid after all
I have squandered every brilliant day of summer
You still came to me, you came to me in fall
Like the sweetest tune I can just recall
You came to me, you came to me in fall
