(John Sheldon)



Well, the sun's not so hot in the sky today

And you know I can see summertime slipping on away

A few more geese are gone, a few more leaves turning red

But the grass is as soft as a feather in a featherbed

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 here 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 the girl at a football game

I can still smell the sweat and the grass stains

We walked home together. I was never the same.



But that was a long time ago

And where is she now? I don't know



Won't you lie down here right 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 you see those ants dancing on a blade of grass?

Do you know what I know? That's you and me, baby

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 here

September grass

Won't you lie down with me now

In this September grass



Lie down

Lie down

Lie down

Lie down



(repeat)



Won't you lie down here right now

In this September grass

Won't you lie down here now

In this September grass
