Sad Heart

(album: Homeward Bound - 1970)

When autumn winds begin to blow
I think of all the times gone by
Of all the discontent we know
A quiet tear comes to my eye
It gives me a sad heart

The wind blows cold upon my face
The dry leaves floated to the ground
The land has something out of place
What is that low and mournful sound
It gives me a sad heart

Now winter cloaks a landing wide
Forgotten bells begin to ring
But there's no silence on this night
And there is no tanking sense to bring
It gives me a sad heart

The warmth of spring now solve the snow
The grass returns the flowers bloom
No changes often come too slow
The smell of hope is sweet perfume
I can't have a sad heart

As I sit by the riverside
The water flowing at my feet
The sun kiss all the country side
Misfortunes come but life is sweet
I can't have a sad heart
