lyrics

October has come and my summer skin is shedding
it's growing backbut I still don’t feel too steady
October's come and my summer mind is slipping
I'm thinking againbut the scale just keeps on tipping towards doubt

some days some times its hard to find
like the loneliest ray of the last sunshine
night has come, the sun is low
my heart beats fast, but your heart beats slow
some days some times its hard to find
like anything like some peace of mind
like the last leaf hanging from the tree
we might be alone, but at least we're free

October has come and my summer limbs are weary
I'm done running from you, but I'm still chased by your memory
October's come and my summer sleep is gone
I'm moving past but these dreams just won't move on

October's come and my summer voice is missing
I keep moving my lips, buthese words just sound like wishing
Octobers come and mysummer eyes can't gaze
trapped beneath the sea of fallen leaves
I'm climbing through the sea
I'm rising above the sea
I'm gazing across the sea of the fallen leaves

some days some times...
we might be alone
at least we're free
