October

Rubbing an eye, searching the sky for rain
Cause your wheels can slip if the road's still slick in your lane
Speeding along, you're singing a song to me
You gotta guide your ride around every puddle you see

Saving up your skipping stones,
and I think that I know why.
You were bubbling a chewing gum
with a cartoon gleam in your eye.
I wish you could have seen it for yourself

Goodbye July, you're searching the sky for snow
Yeah it's cold outside but you're not confined to your home
Your mittens are on, you're singing a song to me
You gotta watch these seasons that freeze all over the green

Jumping in a pile of leaves,
Cause you can't do that all year.
Just like pushing off a plowtruck's hill,
as a way to pull you near.
I wish you could have felt it for yourself.

From the way you talked, I'd have thought you older
From the way you shook, I'd have thought you colder
Turn to face and your left's my right, October
Turn away and we're sharing sides, is over

Daisies for my love...
Well I thank you dear, but that will not be enough

From the way you talked, I'd have thought you older
That's just the way I am
From the way you shook, I'd have thought you colder
That's just the way I am
Turn to face and your left's my right, October
That's just the way we are
Turn away and we're sharing sides, is over
That's just the way we are.
