lyrics

Now the Autumn is upon us dear
You can smell it on the breeze
Add the last remains of summer’s glow
Fades behind the rustling the trees
Fades behind the rustling the trees

You skip along your merry way
A shawl draped ‘cross your neck
That old suede bag beneath your arms
Your mother’s locket ‘cross your breast
Her locket ‘cross your breast

And you say you’ve found a good one
It’s fruit looks soft and sweet
You pick it from its thorny bush
And place it between your teeth
And place it between your teeth

And Katie I would run away
And I would run away
Should you only say the word
And I would run away
And I would run away

Do you recall those endless days
We were so young and sure
This world it seem so simple then
Our dreams unspoiled and pure
Our dreams unspoiled and pure

And the crosses that we’ve come to bear
Have weighed us down so low
But the future’s looking brighter dear
In the evening’s gentle glow
In the evenings gentle glow

And Katie I would run away
And I would run away
Should you only say the word
And I would run away
