September
Days getting shorter, dark clouds rolling in,
Summer’s gone, what have I done?
The crickets are singing their desolate serenade
And nothing I do can undo the pain
And all the things you love the most
Feel like no more than ghosts
But I will hold your dreams until they’re yours again
September took my baby
And she won’t be coming back for some time
She won’t be coming back until the Spring
What have I become? Who’s sleeping in my skin?
Feel so untethered, everything’s wrong
I want to be stronger, to keep you safe from harm
Even if that means safe from these arms
I will bend but will not break
I will learn from my mistakes
Can you hold me in your heart ‘til I’m me again?
September stole my baby
And she won’t be come back for some time
She won’t be coming back until
September stole my baby
And she won’t be coming back for some time
She won’t be coming back until
She won’t be coming back for some time
She won’t be coming back until the Spring
