September Song |
But it’s a long, long while |
From May to December |
And the days grow short |
When you reach September |
And I have lost one tooth |
And I walk a little lame |
And I haven’t got time |
For the waiting game |
And the days turn to gold |
As they grow few |
September, November |
And these few golden days |
I’d spend with you |
These golden days I’d spend with you |
When you meet with a young man early in spring |
They court you in song and rhyme |
They woo you with words and a clover ring |
But if you examine the goods they bring |
They have little to offer but the songs they sing |
And a plentiful waste of time of day |
A plentiful waste of time |
But it’s a long, long while |
From May to December |
Will the clovering last |
Till you reach September? |
And I’m not quite equipped |
For the waiting game |
But I have a little money |
And I have a little fame |
And the days dwindle down |
To a precious few |
September, November |
And these few precious days |
I’d spend with you |
These precious days I’d spend with you |
