October
Walter Martin
[Verse 1]
Summer has gone
The nights are getting colder
The winds howl so strong
As time blows past my shoulder
October is here
Owls and bats
Fly across my window
The possums and the rats
Hide down in the shadows
October is here
[Chorus 1]
Will these winds bring demons and creeps?
I’ll keep my eyes wide open
To a sky so dark and deep
Sorry Ma, there’s no chance I’m going to sleep
[Verse 1]
The trees have gone bald
Guess the world is getting older
October is here
[Chorus 2]
Will these winds bring tremors and fear?
Tell you, Ma, I’m not scared
‘Cause tonight the night is clear
There’s just something in the air this time of year
[Coda]
Summer has gone
The nights are getting colder
The winds howl so strong
As time blows past my shoulder
October is here
