Autumn Sun
My wife stood by the harborHer hands set in a waveLike no more evening and dayNow I see the beauty I failed to see when she was meLife undress me of her, step by stepLike a silk dress, she fell to my feetShe brought me flowersSaid she liked my workI thought she couldn't do us any harmHe never liked that kind of charmBut how could he resistWhen her dress let in the autumn sun?I used to watch the sparrowsPerched on electric wiresLike notes of a song waiting to be sungFor you, I wrote them downHe laughed at life that kept me saneIn a world of dark dark gamesShe brought me flowersSaid she liked my workI thought she couldn't do us any harmHe never liked that kind of charmBut how could he resistLetras de cancionesWhen her dress let in the autumn sun?She watered the garden and played with the kidsFor her birthday, let her try on his wedding ringShe brought me flowersSaid she liked my workI thought she couldn't do us any harmHe never liked that kind of charmBut how could he resistWhen her dress let in the autumn sun?
