October

I miss the way you looked at me

When the leaves were falling all around us, then

Followed by the autumn rain in the cold October wind

And I could read the setting sun

The aching shadows reaching from the sound

And when the lights went on, the shops had all shut down

Oh darlin', what did you wanna know?

Oh darlin', what did you wanna know?

And we're waiting for the sun to rise

I hold you close, and you close your eyes

And we're waiting for the sun to rise

I hold you close, and you close your eyes

And we're waiting for the sun to rise

I hold you close, and you close your eyes

And we're waiting for the sun to rise

I hold you close, and then you close your eyes

I watched the leaves get swept away

The drowning gutters stole them from the ground

With all the color gone, we're left with grey and brown

I heard your voice get low and faint

The words just seemed to fall right off your tongue

And as I pulled you close

The smoke had filled your lungs

Oh darlin', what did you wanna say?

Oh darlin', what did you wanna say?

And we're waiting for the sun to rise

I hold you close, and you close your eyes

And we're waiting for the sun to rise

I hold you close, and you close your eyes

And we're waiting for the sun to rise

I hold you close, and you close your eyes

And we're waiting for the sun to rise

I hold you close, and then you close your eyes

And we're waiting for the sun to rise

I hold you close, and you close your eyes

And we're waiting for the sun to rise

I hold you close, and you close your eyes

And we're gazing at a blackened sky

The rains will fall, and the moon will shine

And we're waiting for the sun to rise

I hold you close, and you close your eyes

And then you close your eyes
