BRANDYWINE GOODBYE
(Mark Cohen)

Dm C Dm
Autumn's in the air in Chester County
Dm C A
Clouds are flaming crimson in a Pennsylvania sky
Dm C
Sunset brings a chill, summer's fading from the hill
Bb C Dm
Brandywine September drifting by

CHORUS:

Dm C
Oh, the Brandywine is flowing clear and free
Bb A
Hear the blackbird and the wren
Dm C
Oh, the Brandywine is calling out to me
Bb C Dm
Wish that I were there again

Autumn sun is bright along the hillside
V's of geese from Canada fly high above the trees
Maples feel the cold, turning orange, red and gold
Brandywine October, days of peace

(CHORUS)

Autumn shadows lengthen in the valley
Northern wind is chilly and the sky is gone to gray
Daylight ends too soon, clouds are racing past the moon
Brandywine November slips away

(CHORUS)

Autumn turns to winter's silent snowfall
Branches now are frozen, black and white against the sky
Moonlight on the snow points the way for me to go
Late December, Brandywine goodbye

LAST CHORUS:

Oh, the Brandywine lies frozen 'neath the trees
Gone the blackbird and the wren
Oh, the Brandywine's still whispering to me
When will I be there again?
Oh, the Brandywine's still whispering to me
When will I be there again?
