Long Hard Fall - Carlene Carter

It was sometime late September

The leaves were gold and green

My baby’s eyes were the saddest sight I’d ever seen

Two summers back I loved him

Two years I cried and tried

But I tell you, too many teardrops falling down cannot be dried

It’s been a long hard fall

Long hard fall

Long hard fall

So something came between us

A feeling cold as ice

By October there was frost and I knew our love was lost

November made me bitter

As the wind blew through my heart

Oh, so empty in the deepest darkest tiny part

It’s been a long hard fall

Long hard fall

Long hard fall

Thre’d be snow come mid-December

And I’ll be frozen to the bone

Oh, but by then it will all be over

It’s been a long hard fall

It’s been a long hard fall

Long hard fall

Long hard fall

It’s been a long hard fall

Long hard fall
