[Verse] Leaves whisper stories on the breeze Golden light spills through the trees Every step cracks a memory A forgotten sound The earth is soft The world unwound [Chorus] October You steal my breath October You leave me blessed With fire in the skies A quiet goodbye October You never rest [Verse 2] Scarves pulled tight against the chill Morning frost on the windowsill The air tastes like endings Like letting go Yet somehow it warms my soul [Prechorus] Oh I can’t hold you I can’t stay You’re slipping fast Like a fleeting day [Chorus] October You steal my breath October You leave me blessed With fire in the skies A quiet goodbye October You never rest [Bridge] I could try to write you down But you’d escape the page You’re the echo of a song that fades with age A fleeting kiss A lover's sigh October You’re a lullaby
