Summer knows It's the final throes Reluctantly gives up the day Shadows grow And it's getting cold Late at night I lie awake There's something in the seasons changing Sets my heart to aching aching Thinking 'bout times that pass And I can't stop it I don't want to Even if I could there's nothing to hold onto anyway And it's the sweetest sound Hear the wheels turning 'round Drink it down In the fall Oh it's been a long long year Full of joy and full of tears Letting go and giving in again... They got married he got carried Off into the great abyss of dark We stayed all night and danced 'til dawn And no regrets, they always say I've got a few anyway Any one that don't is telling lies And as the green turns into gold I drive a little further Down that winding road And it's the sweetest sound Hear the wheels turning 'round Drink it down In the fall
