Pale September Lyrics - Tidal - Fiona Apple

Pale September, I wore the time like a dress that year 

The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin 

But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared 

My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within 

But then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full 

And sank in the burrows of my keep 

And all my armour falling down, in a pile at my feet 

And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep 

He goes along just as a water lily 

Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats 

Unweighted down by passion or intensity 

Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts 

And he finds a home in me 

For what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap 

And all my armour failing down, in a pile at my feet 

And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep 

All my armour falling down, in a pile at my feet 

And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
