Autumn
Wind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Autumn leaves are changing
Autumn leaves are changing
Look at how the green of summer
Turns to orange and yellow colors
Autumn leaves are changing
Wintertime is near

Autumn leaves are falling
Autumn leaves are falling
Autumn trees are finished eating
Now they know its time for sleeping
Autumn leaves are falling
Wintertime is near

Autumn leaves, Autumn leaves
Softly falling down
See them float, See them float
Almost to the ground

Whooosh, the wind is here to say
C'mon leaves it's time to play
Now that all your work is done
Let's go have ourselves some fun

See them go a dosey doh
Spinning round and round
See them go a dosey doh
Dancin' on the ground
See them go a dosey doh
Spinning round and round
See them go a dosey doh
Now they all fall down

Autumn leaves are resting
Autumn leaves are resting
Piled together comfy cozy
Now the roots are warm and toasty




Autumn leaves are resting
Wintertime is here

The Autumn Wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea,
With a rollocking song, he sweeps along,
Swaggering boisterously.
His face is weather beaten.
He wears a hooded sash,
With a silver hat about his head,
And a bristling black mustache.
He growls as he storms the country,
A villain big and bold.
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake,
As he robs them of their gold.
The Autumn Wind is a raider,
Pillaging just for fun.
He'll knock you 'round and upside down,
And laugh when he's conquered and won

As a Raiders fan since conception, The Autumn Wind is the epitome of Football! When football was great. When football was life! Where the gridiron was where you were tested through blood, sweat and tears! "Hard-nosed" football; where everything was left on the field. Hate us all you want, but you know damn well I speak the truth. RIP Coach Madden. . .Raider Nation 4 Life!!

I’m a Jets fan but there is no doubt the Autumn wind is the greatest song ever created. Brings me back to those great Raider Jets games of the late 60’s. RIP Al Davis

@RustyMex

Thanks man, your Jets are doing extremely well this year!

@timzamora

RIP John Facinda. This wouldn't be nearly as good without your narration. Even after all these years you are still voice of NFL films.
