Lyrics September - Wendy McNeill

Yes, it was simpler then
The time before we thought we knew better
We tripped along the riverbank
Copper trails, fists tucked in our sweaters
The leaves and wild grasses
Were weakened by the chill in the breeze
Still summoned up the fortitude
To tickle us on the backs of our knees
Our lives
Tangled roots sucking the ground
In September
We slipped
Laughed so hard that we fell down
Do you remember
A decade′s worth of promises
Settled in the crease of your cheek
Your eyelids, an accordion
That folded and lulled you to sleep
And your dreams were full of miracles
And colours that we'd never seen
It left you feeling curious
With a hint of longing
Our love
Tangled roots sucking the ground
In September
We slipped
Laughed so hard that we fell down
Do you remember
Yes, it was simpler then
The time before we thought we knew better
We tripped along the riverbank
Copper trails, fists tucked in our sweaters
