Toward fall

I see the leaves have fallen down on the ground
And it's frozen hard, deep in the woods
A thick white blanket of snow around me
See it spreading out, for miles away

I tread across the snowy field, all alone
I'm a lonely child, nothing of my own
Searching for arms to hold me so tight
Dreaming of warmth, a home never to be

Mama, where have you gone without me?
Mama, take me away from this cold
A long and lonesome journey I have come
And I hear the songs you sang in the past

Mama, come and take me away
Mama, I'll be waiting for you...
