Autumn Song

I know, it's a little late, but it was supposed to be for a school assignment--and it didn't fit the criteria. Oh, well. Here it is:

It's the time of the cold
And the time of the wind
The time for changing colors
Is here once again.
Short are the days
Pale light does fade
The time for changing colors
Is here once again.

For the autumn has come
And the summer has gone
The tree's rustling leaves
Come falling again.
Grass is so brown
Leaves fall far down
The tree's rustling leaves
Come falling again.

And the winter is soon
When the autumn is done
When the leaves are all down
And the branches are bare
Sing me a song
Night's growing long
When the leaves are all down
And the branches are bare.

Well, now autumn is here
And the winter's soon there
Come sit by the fire
And we'll sing the night through
Summer is gone
Winter is long
But come sit by the fire
And we'll sing the night through.

For the autumn has come...

You sing it to the tune of "Sonny's Dream". (Yes, I know, I'm terrible at "borrowing" tunes) I will hunt for the tune, but not right now, because I'm trying to listen to a radio program.
