[Intro] [strummed acoustic guitar, amp hum] [Verse 1] [male vocals] The porch light's still the color that you left it Up against the season warm and slow I traced the road you took until it ended In a field that I used to know Oh, and all these years don't ask me for very much Just everything you swore you'd never lose [Chorus] It's September again And the light in gold goes thin I keep the door that lets the quiet in And I don't say your name But the weather feels the same Like something good that couldn't stay September, September again [Verse 2] And the town keeps every promise it was given And breaks them all so gently you can't tell I write your kindness down Down like forgiveness For the things I'd never spell [Chorus] And all the years don't ask me for very much Just everything you swore you'd never lose It's September again And the light goes golden thin I keep the door that lets the quiet in And I don't say your name But the weather feels the same Like something good that couldn't stay September, September, September, September again [Bridge] Maybe grace is just the quiet kind The kind that lets you go and doesn't mind I was younger then and I thought I'd win Now I only want to get the light back in [Guitar Solo] [lyrical bent-note guitar solo over driving full band] [Final Chorus] Oh, September again The light is gold and thin I keep the door that lets the quiet in And I don't say your name But the weather feels the same Like something good that couldn't stay September, September, September, September again [Outro] September again September again [stacked gang vocals, feedback, full-band stop]
