Songtexte September Grass - James Taylor

Well, the sun's not so hot in the sky today
And you know I can see summertime slippin' on away, slippin' on and on
A few more geese are gone, a few more leaves turnin' red
But the grass is as soft as a feather in a feather bed, oh darlin'
So 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 grass?
Won't you lie down with me now, September grass

Oh the memory is like the sweetest pain
Yeah, I kissed a girl at a football game
I can still smell the sweat and the grass stains
We walked home together, I was never the same
Ah but that was a long time ago
So where is she now? I don't know

Won't you lie down with me now, now in this September grass?
Won't you lie down with me now, September grass

Oh, September grass is the sweetest kind
It goes down easy like apple wine
Hope you don't mind if I pour you some
Made that much sweeter by the winter to come

Do ya see those ants, dancing on a blade of grass?
Do you know what I know?
That's you and me, baby, yes it is
We're so small and the world's so vast
We found each other down in the grass

Won't you lie down with me right now, in this September grass?
Won't you lie down with me now, in this September grass

Lie down, lie down, lie down, lie down
Lie down, lie down, lie down, lie down

Won't you lie down with me right now in this September grass?
Won't you lie down with me right now in this September grass
Lie down, lie down, lie down
Oh whatever, whatever you got to lie down now
Yeah darlin'
Lie down
