Last September

Do you remember when we used to laugh and sing?
Didn't care too much about anything?
No idea what the days ahead would bring?
Now the nights are longer
The leaves are turned to red
And I'm left with nothing but the words you said
Running wild inside my head

You said your dreams were calling away to some place new
But you swore you'd hold our promise, true

So don't forget me when you're gone
I'll be right here when you leave to travel on
Be your cavalier and wait
Until you come home I can't take
Being on my own
If we both remember what we said last September

Will you remember the nights we lay awake in bed?
Dreaming endlessly about the days I had?
Or will you move on and forget?
If I could leave
I'd follow you but I've been dreaming too

So don't forget me when you're gone
I'll be right here when you leave to travel on
Be your cavalier and wait
Until you come home I can't take
Being alone
If we both remember what we said last September

And if we find we draft apart
We'll take it right back to your start
A little closer to the heart of ground we've tread
But it hasn't happen yet

So don't forget me when you leave to travel on
It won't be long

So don't forget me when you're gone
I'll be right here while you leave to travel on
Be your cavalier and wait
Until you come home
I can't take
Being on my own
If we both remember what we said last September
