Speaking of Songs About October…
Here’s one. I wrote this song about five years ago. It was among those I had abandoned for being too depressing, but, well, today it just seems appropriate.
The Art of Letting Go
October
We’re growing colder
And the days and the nights
Are getting sober
You and me
He and she
With nothing in between
Autumn chill
Midnight thrill
REM, and Halloween
Winter, Spring
Summer again
And nothing’s changed…
… But everything
The sun’s gone down
It’s twilight now
As the whole world fades to black
Asleep at the wheel
Feeling things I shouldn’t feel
I burned the bridge, but I’m swimming back
If there’s an art of letting go
It’s trick I’d like to know
If there’s an art of letting go
It’s trick I’d like to know
[well i guess i can’t complain- she taught me how to lie]
[i let her slip away, i didn’t even try]
If there’s an art of letting go
It’s trick I’d like to know
