September Shadows

SEPTEMBER SHADOWS
We missed the spring and summer
Fog was rolling in
September shadows
Make the twilight dim
I remember moments
Places dates and times
Well turned phrases hidden
With significant design
It’s getting darker
Little by little the days are shorter it’s getting darker
It’s getting darker
Minute by minute the nights are longer
It’s getting darker
I’ll never see a snowflake
Decorate your hair
I’ll never whisper I Love You
I would never dare
What becomes of stories
Without an end
Letters I’ve written
I’m afraid to send
What happens to the magic
When it no longer lives I cannot cast aspersions
Whom am I to forgive
It’s getting darker
Little by little the days are shorter it’s getting darker
It’s getting darker
Minute by minute the nights are longer
It’s getting darker
