It was sometime late September
The leaves were gold and green
My baby's eyes were the saddest sight I'd ever seen
Two summers back I loved him
Two years I cried and tried
But I tell you, too many teardrops falling down cannot be dried
It's been a long hard fall
Long hard fall
Long hard fall
So something came between us
A feeling cold as ice
By October there was frost and I knew our love was lost
November made me bitter
As the wind blew through my heart
Oh, so empty in the deepest darkest tiny part
It's been a long hard fall
Long hard fall
Long hard fall
There'd be snow come mid-December
And I'll be frozen to the bone
Oh, but by then it will all be over
It's been a long hard fall
It's been a long hard fall
Long hard fall
Long hard fall
It's been a long hard fall
Long hard fall
