Pale September

Pale September, I wore the time like a dress that year
 The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin
 But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared
 My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within
 But then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full
 And sank in the burrows of my keep
 And all my armor falling down in a pile at my feet
 And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
 ♪
 He goes along just as a water lily
 ♪
 Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats
 Unweighted down by passion or intensity
 Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts
 ♪
 And he finds a home in me
 For what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap
 And all my armor failing down in a pile at my feet
 And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
 ♪
 All my armor falling down in a pile at my feet
 And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
 All my armour falling down in a pile at my feet
 And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
