THE AUTUMN
LEAVES THEY
RUSH OUTSIDE
MY WINDOW
LIKE THEY'VE
GOT SOMETHING
SO IMPORTANT
THEY MUST DO
SARAH WILL BE HOME
NOW ANY MINUTE
SHE LIKES HER THIRD
GRADE TEACHER
WHO 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 SARAH
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 '89
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 SARAH ASKED HER
OUT FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE
IT MADE ME
CRY WHEN I
TOLD HER ALL
ABOUT US
BUT SARAH 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 '89
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
SARAH TOLD ME
THAT THEY WOULD
BUT WHEN THE
NIGHTS GET COLD
AND THE LEAVES TURN
RUST AND GOLD
THAT'S WHEN YOUR
MEMORY HURTS
I'M JUST FINE TILL THE
END OF SEPTEMBER
THEN I REMEMBER LOSING
YOU OCTOBER '89
BUT 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
