If You Were Coming In The Fall
Ton : GEnglish
Couplet
If you were coming in the fall
I'd brush the summer by
With half a C7smile and half a Dspurn
As housewives do a G7fly. C7 D
Couplet
If I could G7see you in a year
I'd wind the months in balls
And put them C7each in separate Ddrawers
Until their time G7befalls. C7 D
Couplet
If only Bmcenturies delayed
I'd count them Emon my Chand
Subtracting Gtill my fingers Ddropped
Into Van Diemen's Gland.
Couplet
If certain Bmwhen this life was out
That yours and Emmine should Cbe
I'd toss it Gyonder like a Drind
And taste Geternity.
G7 C7 D
Couplet
But now all G7ignorant of the length
Of time's uncertain wing
It goads me C7like the goblin Dbee
That will not state its G7sting C7 D
Couplet
If only Bmcenturies delayed
I'd count them Emon my Chand
Subtracting Gtill my fingers Ddropped
Into Van Diemen's Gland.
Couplet
If certain Bmwhen this life was out
That yours and Emmine should Cbe
I'd toss it Gyonder like a Drind
And taste Geternity.
