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 here right now in this September grass?
|
Won't you lie down with me now, September grass.
|
|
Lie down, lie down, lie down, lie down.
|
|
Won't you lie down here right now in this September grass?
|
Won't you lie down with me now, September grass.
|
Won't you lie down here right now in this September grass?
|
Won't you lie down with me now, September grass...
