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 gra** 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 gra**?
Won't you lie down with me right now, in this September gra**?
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 gra** 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 gra**?
Won't you lie down with me right now September gra**.
Oh, September gra** is the sweetest kind,
it goes down easy like apple wine.
I hope you don't mind if I pour you some,
be that much sweeter by the winter to come.
Do you see those ants dancing on a blade of gra**?
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 gra**
won't you lie down with me right now
in this September gra**?
Won't you lie down with me right now
in this September gra**?
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.
