Subject: Title: My youth(?)is clothed in autumn..
Hello all,

I'm looking for the title and author of this song: (I know both, but I just can't remember. That's old age for you :-)Also, I'd be very happy if someone could fill in the gaps, since I just can't remember the words there...

Thanks very much,

Mad Maudlin

My youth (?) is clothed in autumn shades,
My summer sun begins to fade.
Fading away with the waning year,
Changing my temper now autumn is here.

Time to leave my friends behind,
I leave this town with you on my mind
The dead leaves are burning, the year is decaying
Winter returning .....(?)

One week ago we walked right here,
I never dreamed life's death was so near.
We laughed and played the summer through
The sun is going and I must go, too.

Autumn gold and winter snow,
The sun goes south, it's north I must go
Leaving this town and friends that I know
Its late in the year there'll be....(?)

When the sun returns I'll come there, too
I'll write a song, I'll sing it for you.
