Far and away where the voice of beyond Is in tune to the music of time, The meaning of autumn is set in the sky As a riddle of rhythm and rhyme.
Summer's gone by like all summers before And the swallows are leaving the land, Time journeys on to wherever he's bound And the first fruit lies ripe in my hand, In my hand, The first fruit lies ripe in my hand.
Whatever has passed in the years and the days Has passed as it passed long before. And under the sun nothing new has begun And the times won’t provide any more.
Summer's gone by like all summers before And the swallows are leaving the land, Time journeys on to wherever he's bound And the first fruit lies ripe in my hand, In my hand, The first fruit lies ripe in my hand.
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE – FLUTE
A season of ending, a season of sleep, When the living return to the earth, And the seed in the ground is the symbol of loss And the token of life and rebirth,
Summer's gone by like all summers before And the swallows are leaving the land, Time journeys on to wherever he's bound And the first fruit lies ripe in my hand, In my hand, The first fruit lies ripe in my hand.
