Sweet September, Won't you stay a little more
Sweet September, I can't bare to watch you go
The winters are so cold
Don't leave me stuck here in the snow
When all I am needing, Is a little more time if i'm allowed
Don't stop turning, just slow this down
I don't wanna be on my own
When the leaves they hit the ground
I heard you leaving, It was the hour before dawn
I seen those footsteps, Go right across my frozen lawn
And the colours outside they're changing
And all thats green is gone
When I wake up, Every morning of every day
I hope to see those footsteps, turned round to face the other way
Not even that cold north wind
Wont blow that hope away
*September stay with me, feel the sun all around
For another day, Until my sentience is found
When that north wind blows, and i'm watching you leave
I'll still want you, need you, next to me*
If I turn a statue, In this market town
Tell me September, What will i do now?
Won't you help me find the way
Before the leaves they hit the ground
Take me far away
Before the leaves they hit the ground
