Lyrics
I sing you this October song
Though there is no song before it
The words and tune are none of my own
Though my joys and sorrows bore it
Beside the sea, the brambly brier
In the still of evening
The birds fly out behind the sun
And with them I'll be leaving
The falling leaves, they jewel the ground
They know the art of dying
And leave with joy their glad gold hearts
In the scarlet shadows lying
When hunger calls my footsteps home
Morning follows after
I swim the seas within my mind
And the pine trees laugh green laughter
I used to search for happiness
I used to follow pleasure
Till I found a door behind my mind
And that's the greatest treasure
For rulers like to lay down laws
Rebels like to break them
And the poor priests like to walk in chains
And God likes to forsake them
I met a man whose name was Time
And he said I must be going
But just how long ago that was
I have no way of knowing
Sometimes I'd like to murder Time
Sometimes when my heart's aching
But mostly I just stroll along
The pathway he is taking
