Lyrics

  1. Dimly fade the stars at dawn
    Softly glows the morning’s ray
    Through the pines the West wind blows
    Over mountains gray
    From my lodge thin lines of smoke
    Rise to heaven’s blue sky
    To the hilltops lift thine eyes
    Hear thy lover’s cry

Chorus
Through the forest, lone I’m roaming
My heart’s calling, Fallen Leaf
With the dawning, I am coming
To thy lodge, Fallen Leaf
Through the forest, lone I’m roaming
My heart’s calling, Fallen Leaf
With the dawning, I am coming
To thy lodge, Fallen Leaf

  1. When the woods are deep with snow
    And the stars give forth no ray
    Thou art then my Moon by night
    And my Sun by day
    When the Springtime blooms again
    When the soft winds sigh
    From the hills a voice you’ll hear
    ‘Tis thy lover’s cry

Coda
Hear My cry, Ah! Ah-hoo!
