Autumn's creeping up   And there across the lot   Stands a tree intact   And just content to know   Clinging to each branch   Holding on for the fear of being naked      It's a shame that you won't be here to notice everything that's changed   It's a shame that you won't be here to see this building take its place   It's a shame that you won't be around to hear us all recite your name   In the distance, rows of waving timber fight back the change      Blowing side to side in September   All the leaves that fall, we remember   Blowing side to side in September   All the leaves that fall, we remember      This thickened air is stealing   My right to breathe   Oh, my backbone grows weaker than   A scarecrow with no wings   Out here in the cold   Soon, we'll know   What tragic is   In the distance, rows of waving timber fight back the change      Blowing side to side in September   All the leaves that fall, we remember   Blowing side to side in September   All the leaves that fall, we remember   We remember      A shadowing   I'm aware what it brings   But the weight of it all breaks a heart too quickly   Find answers, ask no questions   The wind brings out suggestions   And leaves a deep impression   A tragedy      Blowing side to side in September   All the leaves that fall, we remember   Blowing side to side in September   All the leaves that fall, we remember   We remember   We remember   We remember   Oh, we remember   We remember
