It was sometime late September    The leaves were gold and green    My baby's eyes were the saddest sight I'd ever seen    Two summers back I loved him    Two years I cried and tried    But I tell you, too many teardrops falling down cannot be dried       It's been a long hard fall    Long hard fall    Long hard fall       So something came between us    A feeling cold as ice    By October there was frost and I knew our love was lost    November made me bitter    As the wind blew through my heart    Oh, so empty in the deepest darkest tiny part       It's been a long hard fall    Long hard fall    Long hard fall       Thre'd be snow come mid-December    And I'll be frozen to the bone    Oh, but by then it will all be over       It's been a long hard fall    It's been a long hard fall    Long hard fall    Long hard fall    It's been a long hard fall    Long hard fall
