Carlene Carter Long Hard Fall
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
