Fall is Here – Charlie Maguire
“I meant this song to be more than about a season of the year. It's about living on your own place, being your own boss, being proud of your work, and being aware of all the things that make up your world.”
Sung by Sally Rogers
When the /cows no longer /care to /go
Out /to their pasture /far or near
But /stand close in the /last warm sun
A/round the /place, I'll know that /fall is here
And /when the corn goes /into dent
A/cross the /fields like old /men appears
We /pick it and /store it all a/way
A/round the /place, I'll know that /fall is here
And when the /limbs of the /apple and the /pear
Lean /down with their /fruit so near
And the /children go a'/gathering
A/round the /place, I'll know that /fall is here
And /when the hunters /come from /town
/Seeking the /pheasant and the /deer
With their /dogs in front to /point the /game
A/round the /place, I'll know that /fall is here
And when the /hay and straw are /in the barn
/Stacked to the roof, /tier on tier
/Smelling like a /summer /come and /gone
A/round the /place, I'll know that /fall is here
A/round the /place, I'll know that /fall is here
When the /evenings come /early and the /mornings are /clear
Over /fallow fields I /worked this /year
A/round the /place, I'll know that /fall is here
