letra de october in july - mary crowell
[verse]
she said
“autumn is a scent; it’s carried on the breeze
i smell october in the rotting leaves –
july in alabama falling yellow from the trees
catch on the thready webs the orb spider weaves
if you haven’t done your weeding the gr-ss has gotten thick
bermuda’s never yielded to the sharpest pick
tomatoes getting red now, sagging on the vine
noon will last forever in the dread sunshine…”
[verse]
she said
“autumn is the dark; i see it in the shade
i see october in the shadows on the clay
july in alabama, all our colors start to fade
bleaching in the burning sun’s white-out day
if you haven’t picked the melons, haven’t looked at all
by now they’ve over-ripened; the asparagus is tall
bugs are growing big now, hiding in the vine
noon will last forever in the dread sunshine…”
[bridge]
i said
“the hummingbird is still here flying,”
and i heard from her a-no denying
“i think the summer here is dying
though it seems to want to stay awhile,”
and i swear i think i saw her smile
[verse]
she said
“autumn is a laughter. it’s flying on the wind
i hear october, though his chuckle’s kind of thin
july in alabama fights for summer ’til the end;
seasons’ wheel is creakin’ round to fall yet again
if you haven’t thinned the peaches, there are branches on the ground
the grapes are getting ripe now by the bushel and the pound
if you listen you can hear them sweeten on the vine
noon will last forever in the dread sunshine…”
[bridge]
i told her
“everything is gonna rot
enjoy the blessings you have got
life burns quickly; life burns hot
and summer goes away too soon…
then autumn sings a darker tune…”
[verse]
she said
“autumn is the cool raising goosebumps on my arm
i feel october though the evening’s still too warm
july in alabama, corn’s an ocean on the farm
gilding days in august with a midas charm
if you haven’t cut the blossoms, your basil’s gone to seed
it’s time to pick blackberries ‘til your fingers bleed
better water all your veggies or they’ll shrivel on the vine
noon will last forever in the dread sunshine…”
[outro]
she said
“autumn is a scent. it’s carried on the breeze
i smell october in the rotting leaves…”
