Cross Roads

AUTUMN SONG

     Let's go down the road together, you and I,
        Let's go down the road together,
        Through the vivid autumn weather;
     Let's go down the road together when the red leaves
           fly.
        Let's go searching, searching after
        Joy and mirth and love and laughter—
     Let's go down the road together, you and I.

     Let's go hunting for adventure, you and I,
        For the romance we are knowing
        Waits for us, alive and glowing,
     For the romance that has always passed us by.
        Let's have done with tears and sighing,
        What if summer-time IS dying?
     Let's go hunting for adventure, you and I.

     Let's go down the road together, you and I—
        And if you are frightened lest you
        Weary grow, my arms will rest you,
     As we take the road together when the red leaves fly.
        Springtime is the time for mating?
        Ah, a deeper love is waiting
     Down the autumn road that calls us, you and I!

THE CITY—
     TOWERS AND CANYONS, AND SLUMS,
     MAN BUILT....

     AND SOULS,
     GOD BUILT!
