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**?
