September September

[Intro] The third day of September Still burning in the heat But somewhere in the darkness I can feel the seasons meet [Verse 1] Summer hangs around us But the light is getting thin Daylight leaves a little sooner And the cool is creeping in Cicadas lose their chorus As the evening settles down Something underneath the silence Is turning this whole town [Pre-Chorus] There's a coolness in the darkness There's a change beneath the blue Something old is letting go Something new is coming through [Chorus] September, September You can feel it when it starts The winds of change are blowing Through the air and through our hearts Summer's still burning But it cannot stay the same Every ending leaves a doorway Every doorway calls your name September, September Hear the whole world turning slow One season fades behind us Let the next one take us home [Verse 2] August lives in photographs Still glowing in my mind But September tells the truth Nothing living stays behind The nights arrive a little sooner Stars are sharper in the sky And every breath of cooler air Feels like a reason why [Pre-Chorus] There's a chill beneath the starlight There's a rhythm in the rain Like the world is taking one deep breath Before it moves again [Chorus] September, September You can feel it when it starts The winds of change are blowing Through the air and through our hearts Summer's still burning But it cannot stay the same Every ending leaves a doorway Every doorway calls your name September, September Hear the whole world turning slow One season fades behind us Let the next one take us home [Bridge] I remember every August Like a fire against my skin All the days we thought would last Were already wearing thin Now September tells the truth And I finally understand You can hold what came before you Without holding where you stand [Break] Let it blow Let it blow Let it blow [Final Chorus] September, September Now I feel it in my bones The winds of change are blowing And they never blow alone Summer's finally surrendering To the edge of autumn light What I thought I was losing Was just learning to take flight September, September Hear the whole world turning slow One season fades behind us Let the next one take us home [Outro] The third day of September The first cool wind comes through Summer fading in the rearview Something different coming into view The winds of change are blowing Let them blow Let them blow
