Summer Trees
We Are Wyoming

Red leaves on summer trees
Early color, early
Stay long
Summer stay long

Red leaves on summer trees
Early winter, early
I say
I say long
Summer stay long

I’m coming the quieting is here
The drying, the laying down and dying
I’m coming the quieting is here
The drying, the laying down and dying

Stay long and leave the light
Leave the light long, and long the first star
The twilight

Then come the cooling air
Woodsmoke and air
the early the night air, she’s changing
And taking me ‘long

I’m coming the quieting is here
The drying, the laying down and dying
I’m coming the quieting is here
The drying, the laying down and dying

Gather me in from the harvest to the kitchen
With tree arms, bare arms
New year comes in the bottom of September
With red arms, red arms

(Goodbye, sunlight, warm nights
Good bye, warm nights, sunlight
Goodbye, take me under you,
Dark blue
Goodbye, take me under you, dark blue)
