For autumn's sake

Standing in front of the window,
I'm watching out for
Lonely souls
For autumn's sake.
 
Standing in front of the window,
I regret
Not thinking about it,
Now that you're giving up.
 
For autumn's sake
Comes back this sweet melancholy.
 
One, two, three, four -
Like when one hums
Old melodies.
 
Staying near the telephone,
I wait
For your call,
For you to finally make up your mind.
 
You, your boyish looks
Please come and break the monotony
Of my days, of my nights.
 
For autumn's sake
Comes back this sweet melancholy
 
One, two, three, four -
Like when one hums
Old melodies.
 
For autumn's sake,
You make
My melancholy
Regain its super scopitone colours.
For autumn's sake.
 
How can I've
been such a fool ?
I had be warned.
This is the naked truth.
 
I would only take
The bad weather
To join in.
A raindrop
And then I really would have lost everything.
