September Spoke in Red

I saw her in the evening
September spoke in red
The light was so deceiving
I must have lost my head
She turned around
A teardrop in her eye
Her trembling lip
As crimson as the sky tonight
But oh how my heart bled
Awake all night in bed
In her arms I prayed
The sun would be delayed
And back when I was dead
If someone would have said
That I could feel so free
I wouldn’t have believed it
Her kiss was so romantic
Shapeless in the dark
I didn’t take advantage
Of any stray remark
I left her there
Not even a goodbye
Who’s crying now
Under the glowing autumn sky tonight
Believe it
