It's the third week of October
And the leaves are still bright green
There are no Autumn colors up above my head
I don't know what that means
When you left me in September
I thought nothing would stay the same
But everything 'round here is just how you left it
Now the leaves won't even change
I miss that swirl of red and orange
It always reminds me of your hair
But now the summer-green won't go away, it's mocking me
'Cause unlike you, it's always there
When you left me in September
I thought nothing would stay the same
But everything 'round here is just how you left it
Now the leaves won't even change
I find your hair-ties all over the house
You left shampoo under the sink
There's a sack of flour in the kitchen that I know I'll never use
And champaign I'll never drink
When you left me in September
I swore nothing would stay the same
But everything 'round here is just how you left it
Now the leaves won't even change
