September Grass Lyrics

Well, the sun's not so hot in the sky today
you know that I can see summertime slipping on away,
slipping on by.
A few more geese are gone, a few more leaves turning red,
and the grass is as soft as a feather in a featherbed.
Oh I'll be king and you'll be queen, our kingdom's gonna
be this little patch of green.
Won't you lie down with me right now,
in this September grass?
Won't you lie down with me right now
in this September grass?

Oh, the memory is like the sweetest pain.
Yeah well I kissed the girl at a football game.
I can still smell the sweat and the grass stains.
Yeah we walked home together, I was never the same.
But that was a long time ago, and where is she now I don't
know
Won't you lie down with me right now
in this September grass?
Won't you lie down with me right now,
September grass.

Oh, September grass is the sweetest kind,
it goes down easy like apple wine.
I hope you don't mind if I pour you some,
made that much sweeter by the winter to come.

Do you see those ants dancing on a blade of grass?
Yeah well you know what I know
that's you and me baby yes it is
Oh we're so small and the world's so vast,
we found each other down in the grass
won't you lie down with me right now
in this September grass?
Won't you lie down with me right now
in this September grass?
Oh lie down lie down lie down lie down
won't you lie down lie down yeah darling
whatever whatever
you gotta lie right down
whatever whatever
you gotta lie down
oh.
