Lake Fork Verne - Just passing through

^CIt is getting colder, winter?s moving ^G7in The red tail hawk rides the fading thermals And the ice clouds are back ^Cagain The old man slowly ^G7pencils in his ^Cjournal

^CSquirrels stashing acorns in tree ^G7nests, Dumb blue jay hides his under falling leaves, And the junco never seems to ^Crest. The old man begins to ^G7ponder bringing in the ^Csheaves

^CThe icicles are forming, And the fire is nearly ^G7out; It will all be over by ^Gmorning Another pioneer, gone without a ^Cshout

^CRed-sky sunsets, that?s the way it ^G7is Animals move at a slower pace, The wind blasts through log walls with a ^Chiss And the old man pulls the heavy ^G7comfort closer to his ^Cface.

^CThe icicles are forming And the fire is nearly ^G7out It will all be over by ^Gmorning Another pioneer, gone without a ^Cshout
