In autumn, my soul feels closer
To the wind and leaves that fall.
I wrap the world up tightly
And my scarf makes me feel tall.
The breeze that bites and strikes me
And fills my eyes with tears
Is welcome when I'm lonely,
When I cover up my ears.
I love just taking comfort
In the warmth of my own skin
When boots and hat and gloves here
Keep all my warmness in.
If only every day got cold,
And every evening froze:
For then, I'd get to hug myself
From my head down to my toes.
