Reflections in the water like shadows in my mind
Cmaj7 Am Dm7 G7
speak to me of passing days and nights and passing time.
Cmaj7 Am Dm7 G9
The falling leaves are whispering, winter's on its way
Cmaj7 Am Dm7 G7
I close my eyes remembering the warmth of yesterday
Dm7 G9 Cmaj7 Am7
It seems a shame to see September swallowed by the wind
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 Am7
and more than that it's oh so sad to see the summer's end.
Dm7 G9 C Am
And though the changing colors are a lovely thing to see
Dm7 G9 G7 Cmaj7
if it were mine to make a change, I think I'd let it be.
Am Dm7 G9sus4
Cmaj7 Am Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
But I don't remember hearing anybody asking me.
