lyrics

Hey, October
Will you come to my rescue
With your soft, hazy light and golden smile
This old heart
Is wounded from this crazy life
And I need your wisdom for a while

Is there a quiet, cosy corner of the year
Where we can sit and talk of everything
And nothing as we wistfully recall
Being young
Catch me, now I'm ready for the fall

Hey, October
Will you wrap your arms around me
Like the boughs of the old climbing tree
Take me back
To the auburn and the amber
That were always there for me

Is there a quiet, cosy corner of the year
Where we can sit and watch the world drift by
As all those little leaves just disappear
When you enthral
Catch me, now I'm ready for the fall

And in the evening
We'll settle down around a candle
That smells of pumpkin spice
Oh, October, wouldn't that be nice

Is there some quiet, cosy corner of the year
Where we can sit and figure out
All that we're learning
Two old friends returning here
Through it all
Catch me, now I'm ready for the fall
