lyrics

September

Perched on the kitchen counter / fingering the bare threads of my jeans
A cup of coffee on my knee / a little sugar and a lot of cream
Ivy on the window / climbing down the wall
It reminds me of September / Yeah, I think it was September

We watched Rita Hayworth on TV
We ate brandy coated peaches
I danced with silver castanets
Do you remember that song?
I can’t remember that song

Folded in the corner in flannel / watching the first leaf fall
Counting on sleeping in / a pocket of sunshine
I still write long winded letters / signed with an S
You knew the words I never said / are you the same as you were then?

We bathed in rose petal water
We tasted blackberry wine
You strummed that old Magnatone
Do you remember that song?
I remember September
But I’ve forgotten that song
