It's comin' in fall, and it's comin' in rain And it's comin' in dead, and it's comin' in change And it's comin' in silk, and it's comin' in sworn And it's comin' in strain, and it's comin' in storm And it's comin' in fall, and it's comin' in rain And it's comin' in burnt on a lion's mane And it's comin' in cloak, and it's comin' in shawl If revelation comes, it's comin' in fall And it's rainin' and it's pourin' And it's too long I been chorin' I'm gon' go to bed with a heavy head And pray for light in the mornin' It's comin' in fall, on a darkened day Full of union blue and confederate grey Bayonet red, gunpowder black Gangrene black Out a coal smoke stack And it's comin' in fall, on a darkened day And it's spiralin' down, and it's fallin' away And it's comin' in leer, and it's comin' in drawl If revelation comes, it's comin' in fall And it's rainin' and it's pourin' And it's too long I been chorin' I'm gon' go to bed with a heavy head And pray for light in the mornin'
