Gather up your children Tale of Alex Chilton Remember days of paper cranes and dust Sentimental for One I never saw That sanctified illusion died Before we were born And it's over But it haunts you When September girls still want you You can't shake it You can't leave it And September girls still want you even now Turning summer golden Somewhere back in Boston So take a seat, it's 1993 Drunk and teary eyed Time is on my side Oh, yes it is Oh, yes it is, it's Why I'm alive…. Cause it's over And it haunts you When September girls still want you You can't shake it You can't leave it And September girls still want you even now And the crowd was in line When the taxi pulls up outside Through the feedback and fuzz From that old Vibrolux of mine There were drinks at the bar There was smoke in my starry eyes And it's over But it haunts you When September girls still want you You can't shake it You can't leave it And September girls still want you even now
