I saw her in the evening September spoke in red The light was so deceiving I must have lost my head She turned around A teardrop in her eye Her trembling lip As crimson as the sky tonight
But oh how my heart bled Awake all night in bed In her arms I prayed The sun would be delayed And back when I was dead If someone would have said That I could feel so free I wouldn't have believed it
Her kiss was so romantic Shapeless in the dark I didn't take advantage Of any stray remark I left her there Not even a goodbye Who's crying now Under the glowing autumn sky tonight
