THE AUTUMN LEAVES
THEY RUSH OUTSIDE
MY WINDOW
LIKE THEY'VE GOT
SOMETHING
SO IMPORTANT
THEY MUST DO
SARA WILL BE HOME
NOW ANY MINUTE
SHE LIKES HER
THIRD GRADE TEACHER
LOOKS SO MUCH
LIKE YOU
I STRUCK A MATCH
TO LIGHT THE FURNACE
IN THE HALLWAY
I COULD SMELL
THE SUMMER DUST
BURNING IN THE VENT
IT'S JUST ANOTHER
THING
THAT BRINGS
YOUR MEMORY
BACK TO ME
I THINK THAT SARA
KNOWS I'M TROUBLED
BY THAT SCENT
SHE READS MY MIND
I'M JUST FINE TILL THE
END OF SEPTEMBER
THEN I REMEMBER
LOSING YOU
OCTOBER EIGHTY-NINE
BUT IF I LIVE
IN THE PAST
THERE'S NO FUTURE
I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO LEAVING OCTOBER
BEHIND
THERE'S A GIRL
I REALLY LIKE
DOWN AT THE OFFICE
ME AND SARA
ASKED HER OUT
FOR NEW YEARS EVE
IT MADE ME CRY
WHEN I TOLD HER
ALL ABOUT US
BUT SARA SAYS
THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH ME
IT JUST TAKES TIME
BUT I'M JUST FINE TILL
THE END OF SEPTEMBER
THEN I REMEMBER
LOSING YOU
OCTOBER EIGHTY-NINE
BUT IF I LIVE
IN THE PAST
THERE'S NO FUTURE
I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO LEAVING OCTOBER
BEHIND
ALL THINGS WORK
FOR GOOD
HAS BECOME MY
FAVORITE VERSE
SARA TOLD ME
THAT THEY WOULD
AND WHEN THE NIGHTS
GET COLD
AND THE LEAVES TURN
RUST AND GOLD
THAT'S WHEN YOUR
MEMORY HURTS
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
I'M JUST FINE TILL THE
END OF SEPTEMBER
THEN I REMEMBER
LOSING YOU
OCTOBER EIGHTY-NINE
IF I LIVE
IN THE PAST
THERE'S NO FUTURE
I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO LEAVING OCTOBER
BEHIND
I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO LEAVING OCTOBER
BEHIND
