September Grass Lyrics

September Grass

(John Sheldon)

Well, the sun`s not so hot in the sky today
And you know I can see summertime slipping on away
A few more geese are gone, a few more leaves turning red
But the grass is as soft as a feather in a featherbed
So I`ll be king and you`ll be queen
Our kingdom`s gonna be this little patch of green

Won`t you lie down here right now
In this September grass
Won`t you lie down with me now
September grass

Oh the memory is like the sweetest pain
Yeah, I kissed the girl at a football game
I can still smell the sweat and the grass stains
We walked home together. I was never the same.

But that was a long time ago
And where is she now? I don`t know

Won`t you lie down here right now
In this September grass
Won`t you lie down with me now
September grass

Oh, September grass is the sweetest kind
It goes down easy like apple wine
Hope you don`t mind if I pour you some
Made that much sweeter by the winter to come

Do you see those ants dancing on a blade of grass?
Do you know what I know? That`s you and me, baby
We`re so small and the world`s so vast
We found each other down in the grass

Won`t you lie down with me right here
September grass
Won`t you lie down with me now
In this September grass

Lie down
Lie down
Lie down
Lie down

(repeat)

Won`t you lie down here right now
In this September grass
Won`t you lie down here now
In this September grass
