Come September

[00:12.15] Autumn's ashes, summer's embers
[00:15.34] On the sidewalk come September
[00:17.80] And suddenly I can't remember
[00:20.66] Any lessons learned
[00:23.41] Now that I'm a migrant picker
[00:26.47] Trouble-minded tin-can kicker
[00:29.53] I wish my skin was thicker
[00:33.48] The air has turned
[00:37.84]
[00:45.31] I can live alone I said
[00:48.14] I can make my lonesome bed
[00:51.32] I don't need a hole in my head
[00:54.51] I don't need a lover
[00:56.66] But he took me by surprise
[00:59.66] I fell down and saw him rise
[01:03.15] Till he was larger in my eyes
[01:06.51] Than any other
[01:08.47] How suddenly the summer died
[01:15.22] I couldn't bring it back to life
[01:21.49] I couldn't sing it back to life
[01:28.23] But I tried
[01:31.98]
[01:40.42] Came to him in summer clothing
[01:43.47] Came to him because I chose him
[01:46.49] Came to find his fingers frozen
[01:49.40] And he would not reach for me
[01:51.91] Came to him for his sweet song
[01:54.92] Came to him for right or wrong
[01:57.72] Came to find his heart belonged
[02:00.40] To one who came before me
[02:03.49] How suddenly the sweetness died
[02:09.66] I couldn't bring it back to life
[02:16.06] I couldn't sing it back to life
[02:22.84] But I tried
[02:27.33]
[02:34.81] Autumn's ashes, summer's embers
[02:37.87] On the sidewalk come September
[02:40.81] Suddenly I can't remember
[02:43.32] Any lessons learned
[02:45.74] Now that I'm a migrant picker
[02:49.14] Trouble-minded tin-can kicker
[02:52.31] I wish my skin was thicker
[02:55.95] The air has turned
[02:58.16]
