about

A song from Jackson C Frank's 1965 album. Covered by Nick Drake and many others. Arranged by He Mistook Her For A Swan.

lyrics

Gold and silver is the Autumn
Soft and tender are her skies
Yes and no are the answers
Written in my true love's eyes

Autumn's leaving and winter's coming
I think that I'll be moving along
I've got to leave her and find another
I've got to sing my heart's true song

Round and round the burning circle
All the seasons, one, two and three
Autumn comes and then the Winter
Spring is born and wanders free

Gold and silver burned my Autumns
All too soon they'd fade and die
And then, ah there were no others
Milk and honey were their lies
