Fall comes to Oregon, summer is gone
Up on the mountain I'm watching the dawn
Sippin' hot coffee and watchin' the breeze
That rolls down the canyons and brings my mind ease
Well it's Oregon country, the rain's comin' down
Water is soakin' the ground all around
Inside there's a fire, good friends all around
Oregon country, the rain's comin' down
It's autumn in Oregon, a chill in the air
Fog in the morning, the afternoon fair
Down the Columbia clouds roll away
Watching the end of an Oregon day
High up in the Cascades the snow starts to fall
Out over Malheur you'll hear the geese call
Winds off the ocean chase clouds 'cross the sky
I can smell that rain comin' and I'm feelin' high

Well, it's early in springtime and daybreak is near
And far off a robin is singing so clear
And the dewdrops they shimmer and the quiet runs deep
And I turn and I touch you in sleep
And the sunlight and shadows dance down the wall
Oh the dreams and the memories they tumble and fall
And I think of your smile, the things that you do
The sunlight, the shadow, and you
Well the sunlight comes dancing on down through the trees
A hawk glides and soars on the new morning's breeze
And you stir from your slumber in the pale morning light
And you turn and you hug me so tight
It's that sweet quiet time that we share before dawn
We cherish each moment and then it is gone
Like the shadows of sleep slowly drifting away
We rise and we greet the new day
