"Down and around, Catch a red leaf as it's falling..."
Down and Around
September 1977 | Song # 9
when you’re feeling good
which happens from time to time
Take a long relaxing stroll
Far fromwhere you usually go
Go alone or take a friend
It’s up to you to decide
But when you’re finally ready…
Refrain:
Take it down and around
Catch a red leaf as it’s falling
Down and around
Go to the places that are calling
Down and around
Hear the small brook gently singingt
Down and around
Fell the bells in your heart ringing…
When September comes home again
Greet her with open arms
Get away from the places
Of earning and learning and such
At least set aside a day
To let the wind blow on your face
And when you finally do…
Refrain:
When the wild geese fly south again
Listen to their lonely song
Somewhere in those wild harmonies
Lies the key to a new way of life
What that may mean I’ll leave up to you to decide
And when you finally understand…
Refrain:
Tuning: Standard
Chords: DACG – verse, DAD and GAD – Refrain
