Waving Autumn Reeds

A Song for the Reeds

A warm, nostalgic blend of British pop sophistication, breezy Latin rhythms, and soulful dance grooves, with a touch of 1990s charm.

Made for a leisurely family afternoon tea on a beautiful autumn day.

Yet another love song, though.

With love,
Topher

The summer left without goodbye
A little gold across the sky
I took the road we used to know
Where all the restless waters flow

And there you were, beside the stream
Just like a half-forgotten dream
The autumn wind began to rise
And something danced before my eyes

Oh, the years go rolling by
Like the clouds across the sky
But there's something in the breeze
That brings you back to me

Waving autumn reeds
Dancing where the river meets the sea
Bending with the wind
Coming back to where we've always been

Oh, waving autumn reeds
Nothing stays, but nothing really leaves
Let the seasons turn
There's a little light in everything we learn

We never kept a perfect score
Of who loved less or who loved more
We lost a few, we found a few
And somehow made the whole way through

The river doesn't ask us why
The autumn doesn't need to try
And every time the cool winds blow
I find a place I used to know

Oh, the years go rolling by
There's no need to wonder why
If the wind can find its way
Maybe we can do the same

Waving autumn reeds
Dancing where the river meets the sea
Bending with the wind
Coming back to where we've always been

Oh, waving autumn reeds
Nothing stays, but nothing really leaves
Let the seasons turn
There's a little light in everything we learn

We bend, we sway
We lose our way
And still the morning comes

No need to stay
No need to pray
For summer to return

Waving autumn reeds
Dancing where the river meets the sea
Bending with the wind
Still becoming who we're meant to be

Oh, waving autumn reeds
Take a little of the wind with me
Let the seasons turn
Somewhere in the breeze, the summer burns

(Ooh, let the wind blow)
(Ooh, let the river flow)

We're still dancing
We're still dancing

Waving autumn reeds...
