The leaves upon this chestnut tree
Are making me so sorry, so sorry
'cause when they turn from green to gold i know
The summer love in me is fading
Is fading
September is but a half-month
Just time enough to sweetly wave goodbye
To lives lived by golden hours on lover's isles
Just time enough to set your course
For a cold and dripping distant silver shore
Stay with me, my faded angel
We'll turn the leaves from gold to green
This is no time to take your leave
The sun can live inside
Stay
