[intrigueing rock intro] [Verse 1] Nothing's right, nothing's true: I'm a foe, though we're two. How did we end up right this way? (Hoo-hoo-oo!) April's vow, love's sweet claim, Now is just ash and flame. Like a lone yellow leaf Drifting down Moscow's lane. [Pre-Chorus] The third of September's day we remember, The day when the rowan berries burn. Like their fire, vows glow an ember, A day I'm left alone to yearn. [Chorus] And I will turn the page of the year, September's third day - oh, again! I'll gaze at your face, frozen here, September's third - again, again. But tell me why we say goodbye? Did our paths have to sever 'nd part? When all of it came from the heart On th'second day of month. [Verse 2] The white cranes in their flight, Your young daughter, my son — They all crave a warm, gentle light. (Hoo-hoo-oo!) We played love like a game, In the wind, cold and plain, We just played, you and I, 'Til the end drew nearby. [Pre-Chorus] The third of September's day we remember, The day when the rowan berries burn. Like their fire, vows glow an ember, A day I'm left alone to yearn. [Chorus] And I will turn the page of the year, September's third day - oh, again! I'll gaze at your face, frozen here, September's third - again, again. But tell me why we say goodbye? Did our paths have to sever 'nd part? When all of it came from the heart On th'second day of month. But tell me why, oh, tell me why? Did our paths have to sever 'nd part? When all of it came from the heart On th'second day of month. [Outro] tell me why say goodbye?..
