about

This track is worth the album fee - cos Louis really nails the sax break
Everyone goes home in October ! - end of the first phase of On The Road, but this was the end of something else - that's the nature of poetry, good or bad, no-one else will ever truly know (or care) what it's about

lyrics

I kissed a banshee
But I never made her wail
Sent her away happy
And lived to tell the tale

A past that needs erasing
A memory shroud of doubt
I hide behind double glazing
That keeps the birdsong out

There’s a tiger that hides in the bushes
Eyes that burn in the night
The birds stay high in the branches
And the stars stay just out of sight

So now I rise really early
Live my days upside down
Dawn’s darkness doesn’t deter me
Waiting for spring to come round

In September when shadows descend
Before we go home in October again
The memory is mine to defend
No more light in the evenings to spend
We go home in October again
We go home in October again

I seek light that leaks around doorways
Live in a land with no sound
The last ghosts of the highway ignore me
And my breath sinks down to the ground
Like mist is the sighs of dinosaurs
As they buried the bones that we found
I know that I been here before
Cos this earth keeps spinning around

We go home in October again
We go home in October again
We go home in October again……………………..
