Mmmm, September on my sleeve
Summer prancing on in make believe
It won't surrender, the sun, the leaves
Playful shadows dance up to the eaves
I'll remember, on this day
The smell of creosote, the smell of hay
Mmmm, September
Ash and embers, where I kneeled
Morning mist, a blanket on the fields
Ahh the splendor once revealed
Her warming kiss, her beauty unconcealed
I remember on this morn
The place I left, the place that I was born
Mmmm September
Ahh September, lead me on
By waterfalls and train tracks and beyond
Soft and tender, pale and wan
I harken back to love from days now gone
I'll remember all this when
I lay my tattered blanket at the end
Mmmm, September...
