Carlene Carter Long Hard Fall Lyrics

Long Hard Fall Lyrics

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
There'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
