Let the Leaves Fall
9 September 2026
The first day of autumn. Mist drifting across the river. Golden leaves beneath the trees. A dog running ahead, following the scents of a changing season. Let the Leaves Fall is a gentle celebration of nature, home and the comforting rhythm of everyday life. As the days grow shorter and the air turns colder, the song invites us to slow down, enjoy the beauty around us, and find warmth in the little things. A kettle on the stove. A book by the window. A fire glowing as the evening draws in. No rush. No destination. Just the quiet reassurance that, through the cold and through the dark, the lights will lead us home.
Lyrics
First day of autumn. Clouds among the trees. The birds fall quiet. Leaves on the breeze. Mist upon the river, Gold across the ground. A fox moves through the garden Without making a sound. The wind is at the doorway; I pull my collar tight. The dog runs on ahead of me, Disappearing from my sight. The days grow shorter, The air grows clear. We feel the season turning, Drawing each other near. Let the leaves fall to the ground, Let the world slow down. Through the cold, through the dark, The lights will lead us home. Let the leaves fall, Let the world slow down. Autumn in the air, A fire to gather round. Leaves fall… World slows down… Find our way home… Ducks turn on the river. The fish stay deep below. My dog brings back a fallen branch From where I don't know I put the kettle on And tend the fire's glow. A book waits by the window As the last light goes. The days grow shorter, The air grows clear. We feel the season turning, Drawing each other near. Let the leaves fall to the ground, Let the world slow down. Through the cold, through the dark, The lights will lead us home. Let the leaves fall, Let the world slow down. Autumn in the air, A fire to gather round. First day of autumn. A fire when we get home. Leaves fall down. The world slows down.
