Old Tennessee Lyrics - Singles - Fogelberg Dan

End of October 

The sleepy brown woods 

seem to 

Nod down their heads 

to the Winter. 

Yellows and grays 

Paint the sad skies today 

And I wonder when 

You're coming home. 

Woke up one morning 

The wind through the window 

Reminded me Winter 

Was just 'round the bend. 

Somehow I just didn't 

See it was coming 

It took me by surprise 

again. 

And I hear you're in 

San Francisco 

Living with your sister 

who's a mother to be. 

And her husband's way 

down in Georgia 

And I'm still in old 

Tennessee... 

Wishing you'd come home 

to me. 

Life here is easy 

I'm sure you recall 

How it's so warm and breezy 

In the Summer and the Fall. 

But Winter's upon me 

And I've got no heat here 

And I miss your fire so 

sweet, Dear 

I miss your fire so sweet. 

And I hear you're in 

San Francisco 

Living with your sister 

who's a mother to be. 

And her husband's way 

down in Georgia 

And I'm still in old 

Tennessee... 

Wishing you'd come home 

to me. 

End of October 

The sleepy brown woods 

seem to 

Nod down their heads 

to the Winter. 

Yellows and grays 

Paint the sad skies today 

And I wonder when 

You're coming home 

I wonder when you're 

coming home.
