I'll sing you this 
October song 
There's no song before it 
The words and tune are none of my own 
For my joys and sorrows bore it 
Beside the sea the brambly briars ln the still of evening 
Birds fly out behind the sun 
And with them l'll be leaving 
The faIIen leaves that jewel the ground 
They know the art of dying 
And leave with joy their glad gold hearts 
In scarlet shadows 
Iying When hunger calls my footsteps home 
The morning follows after l swim the seas within my mind 
And the pine trees laugh green 
Iaughter l used to search for happiness l used to follow pleasure 
But l found a door behind my mind 
And that's the greatest treasure 
For rulers like to lay down laws 
And rebels like to break them 
And the poor priests like to walk in chains l met a man whose name was time 
He said I must be going 
But just how long ago that was l have no way of knowing 
Somelimes l want to murder time 
Sometimes when my heart's aching 
But mostly l just stroll along 
The path that he is taking l'll sing you this 
October Song 
There is no song before it 
The words and tune are none of my own 
For my joys and sorrows bore it 
Beside the sea the brambly briars 
In the cool of evening 
The birds fly out behind the sun 
And with them l'll be 
Ieaving
