Tonight I am a little lonely
Thought I was going out on the town
I’m still right here hanging around
Oh sure, I miss you
When the sun is settling down
Sometimes I’m still awake in the dawn
But maybe if I’m lucky
I’ll have a marvelous dream
And I’ll wake up laughing about everything
Will I ever know the way this goes?
Will the big secret ever show?
Eventually, I’d hope to be a wise old man
But there are just some things you don’t rush
And growing old comes soon enough
I’ll be a fool in front of you, oh, I don’t mind
I’ll just lay it on the line.
It’s late September
Autumn leaves are tumbling down
They lay all crumpled, blowing around
I walk on, right through ’em
I have always loved that sound
I lose all my problems on this golden ground
I just want to hear you laugh
And let it carry on the wind
I want to feel the shivers on your skin
Every time I breathe
I try to inhale the whole world in
I don’t want this memory to ever end
If I ever know the way it goes?
If the big secret ever shows?
You’ll know I finally got to be a wiser man
But there are just some things you don’t rush
Like growing old, and falling in love
I was a fool in front of you but I don’t mind
I just laid it on the line.
