It was sometime late SeptemberThe leaves were gold and greenMy baby's eyes were the saddest sight I'd ever seenTwo summers back I loved himTwo years I cried and triedBut I tell you, too many teardrops falling down cannot be driedIt's been a long hard fallLong hard fallLong hard fallSo something came between usA feeling cold as iceBy October there was frost and I knew our love was lostNovember made me bitterAs the wind blew through my heartOh, so empty in the deepest darkest tiny partThere'd be snow come mid-DecemberAnd I'll be frozen to the boneOh, but by then it will all be overIt's been a long hard fallIt's been a long hard fallLong hard fallLong hard fallIt's been a long hard fallLong hard fall
