Leaving October Lyrics - Singles - Sons Of The Desert

The autumn leaves they rush outside my window 

Like they've got something so important they must do 

Sara will be home now any minute 

She likes her third grade teacher and looks so much like you 

I struck a match to light the furnace in the hallway 

I could smell the summer dust burning in the vent 

It's just another thing that brings your memory back to me 

I think that Sara knows I'm troubled by that scent, she reads my mind 

I'm just fine 'til the end of September 

Then I remember losing you, October '89 

But if I live in the past, there's no future 

I'm looking forward to leaving October behind 

There's a girl I really like down at the office 

Me and Sara asked her out for New Year's Eve 

It made me cry when I told her all about us 

But Sara says there's nothing wrong with me, it just takes time 

But I'm just fine 'til the end of September 

Then I remember losing you, October '89 

But if I live in the past, there's no future 

I'm looking forward to leaving October behind 

'All things work for good', has become my favorite verse 

Sara told me that they would, but when the nights 

Get cold and the leaves turn rust and gold 

That's when your memory hurts 

I'm just fine 'til the end of September 

Then I remember losing you, October '89 

If I live in the past, there's no future 

I'm looking forward to leaving October behind 

Looking forward to leaving October behind
