Come September |
| Autumn’s ashes, summer’s embers |
| On the sidewalk come September |
| And suddenly I can’t remember |
| Any lessons learned |
| Now that I’m a migrant picker |
| Trouble-minded tin-can kicker |
| I wish my skin was thicker |
| The air has turned |
| I can live alone I said |
| I can make my lonesome bed |
| I don’t need a hole in my head |
| I don’t need a lover |
| But he took me by surprise |
| I fell down and saw him rise |
| Till he was larger in my eyes |
| Than any other |
| How suddenly the summer died |
| I couldn’t bring it back to life |
| I couldn’t sing it back to life |
| But I tried |
| Came to him in summer clothing |
| Came to him because I chose him |
| Came to find his fingers frozen |
| And he would not reach for me Came to him for his sweet song |
| Came to him for right or wrong |
| Came to find his heart belonged |
| To one who came before me How suddenly the sweetness died |
| I couldn’t bring it back to life |
| I couldn’t sing it back to life |
| But I tried |
| Autumn’s ashes, summer’s embers |
| On the sidewalk come September |
| Suddenly I can’t remember |
| Any lessons learned |
| Now that I’m a migrant picker |
| Trouble-minded tin-can kicker |
| I wish my skin was thicker |
| The air has turned |
