Since my last post last year I had lost interest in music due to a re-emergence of the worst time of my life from 20 years ago, I sometimes lurk and saw Noel's lyrics but thought that I could never write a song to those.
I occasionally messed with BIAB trying to discover tricks I didn't know and playing with the RTs that I have never used and came across 2708 Autoharp. And so emerged 32 bars of Em which needed lyrics and more chords!
THEN the gibsonator suddenly came back to life, took control and pointed to Noel's lyrics.The analogy of a year being my life arose in my mind. 20 years ago I was 48 ...I was in the Autumn of my life-ish!!! Aah hah Autumn's blade ..... BRILLIANT!!

Noel, you, without knowing, put my thoughts into words in a way that I could never have done. Thank you
A few more chords turned up and then Brent put those thoughts into notes.
This has been ready to post for quite a few weeks but circumstances out of my control stopped me. Here it is at last.

Deciduous love

Lost and lonely autumn leaves are my only friends tonight
We're tumbling headlong down a road going nowhere
Forgetting once we had we had a happy life
now all alone, where cold winds blow
Don't we deserve a home?

Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Lives for summer sun
Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Deciduous love Leaves when summer is done

I remember back in springtime
The taste of youth was good
Then summer shone and love grew strong I was invincible and self-assured
as days got longer and seasons changed
blue turned grey and
then came autumn's blade

Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Lives for summer sun
Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Deciduous love Leaves when summer is done

Maybe one day
I'm hoping one day
that Summer will never ever go away
Deciduous love lives for summer sun
Deciduous love leaves, leaves when summer is done
Always needing that summer sun
