The summer days are now long gone
The sun has gone away
The frost is coming fast, I know
And the wind bites more each day.
I'm scared I'll drift right down and be
Forgotten, just like the rest
I know my time is short, but still
I can't help but protest.
They'll marvel at my colours, then
I'll quickly fade to brown
What kind of fate is that? To be
Adored, then sent to drown.
I'm just not ready yet to fall
I don't want to disappear
I know in spring I'll start again
But I can't wait 'till next year.
Remember me, I beg you please
I swear I'll be back soon
Keep me alive like I'm one of your kind
And save me from my doom.
