October Breathes

October loves me September baby Virgo across its face Out of it’s play pen This child decides to spin In a vacant scenery Thinking back On what yesterday meant to me He’s going on It won’t be long As he’s carried home Don’t you love me sober Days I’m drifting Along In October She just sits there Someone hold her Kiss her sober Missing all the fun Just growing older Flowers ale Roses Paint you pale Broken, shapeless Only strangers notice The rain That follows hail Jesus Seekers Leaves bristle Against a fallen preacher your father’s gone Running home No ones worried That your gone Don’t you love me sober It’s almost over For days I’m drifting now Alone in October
