I wanna talk to you about the time of the year we call it the fall
It's a time when you can feel a change coming
Like sometimes late in the evening
You can feel a little brisk air nipping at the back of your neck
Kind of make you wanna scrunch up your shoulders
And put a blue jeans jumper up around you

You can feel it in your bones, you know a change is gonna come
A litte change never done nobody no harm

It's the time always makes me think about
Old hobo's sitting out around the camp fires at night
Fall and some more coffee in an old tin can trying to keep warm
Listen to them
But it is also a time when I get a restless feeling
Makes me wanna just get on a freight train and ride somewhere
Like there is something somewhere
Saying come see about me and check me out

You can feel it in your bones oh yes you can
You know a change is gonna come
A little change never done nobody no harm

It's a time if you go out in the woods
You can see the turning of the leaves
And a kind of smells good to you, yeah, but it don't last long
For you know it winter's come clamping down on you
And you are hovering in your coat, trying to keep yourself warm
But it's a good time, it's a good thing, it's a change

You can feel it in your bones, you know a change is gonna come
A little change never done nobody no harm
