Chesapeake Bay in the Fall
2020© by John Schofield

I step on deck and watch the dawn
Not a ripple shows on the bay
When the morning mist has gone
It will be another fine day

The forest is dressed in its mantel
Of gold and yellow and red
Hot summer days have passed by now
Giving way to autumn instead

Chorus:
There’s no finer place to sail
Down to Norfolk or up to Rock Hall
Than on Chesapeake Bay in the fall
On Chesapeake Bay in the fall

Delta-flights of Canada geese
Come back to their winter home
On the Bay cooler breezes blow
And sailboats are starting to roam

Soon I’ll up anchor and journey
Down to the islands and keys
But next year once again I’ll be here
On this bay with its golden trees

Repeat Chorus
