September

Come and lie here next to me We don't have to do anything Just breathe Just breathe Delay the morning The harsh light and the noise Close the window, shut the blind We can steal some peace of mind If you play along with me We won't have to see The sunlight wash over reality Just come and lie here next to me Just come and lie here next to me Come and lie here next to me We don't have to say anything Just breathe Slow and deep Delay the day The burning light and hum of the street Keep the window shut and the curtains drawn We won't have to mow the lawn if we can't see how tall the grass has grown Pick a friend among the weeds They can't take away What we fail to be Just come and lie here next to me Just come and lie here next to me Oh September Oh September Here we go my love Here we go On the corner they dance beneath a blind moon In the dark they love what no one else could While you sleep they pity you like a fool In your dreams they speak with tongues made of wood With words made of stars they start to confess A pseudonym, a perfect mess Like a dog scratching at the pavement On the street naked in last night's dress Oh September Oh September Here we go my love, ah come on Here we go Come and lie here next to me You know, muses don't get royalties You'll have to put your faith in me If you do I'll let you lie in peace
