about

Written in a beautiful home in the hills outside of Galway, Ireland, about the autumn time coming in.

lyrics

Your Rosy Face

The days are growing shorter
The mist is rolling in
That cool breeze caresses my skin
Smoke from puffing chimneys is drifting on by
Piles of wood are stacked up so high
I see amber, purple, red, orange and gold
This palette of hues, pleases me untold
The fog sets in, heavy in the sky
The leaves start falling from trees that sigh
The cattle are early comin’ home
The soup’s cooking on the stove

Autumn’s comin’, there’s a chill in the air
Leaves start fallin’, the trees are stripped bear
Cold hands warm heart, you’re sat by the fire place
Flames aglow on your rosy face

Your rosy face

Purple heather’s blooming
Those cold, long winter days are looming
September came around fast
Now it’s time to pull on gloves and scarves
So goodbye to those long summer days
Where the sun was always setting so late
So goodbye to the swallows heading south
Chasing the sunshine, they’re Africa bound

Buckle down for winter, prey for Spring
Hoping again to hear once more, the swallows that sing
It’s time for mulled wine and sharing songs by the fireside
It’s time for some good home cooking, sharing tales in the candlelight

Buckle down for winter, go on and find your woolen socks and your coat
Blanket me with fabric and raiment, won’t you blanket me with hope
Wrap me in your loving arms, drown me with tenderness
Warm me with affection, as we lay to rest, yea we lay to rest
