September ringtone on your mobile phone

Tonight 

There must be people who are gettin' what they want 

I let my oars fall into the water 

Good for them 

Good for them 

Gettin' what they want 

Gettin' what they want 


The night is so still that I 

Forget to breathe 

The dark air is gettin' colder 

Birds are leavin' 


Tonight 

There are people gettin' just what they need 

Tonight 

There are people gettin' just what they need 


The air 

Is so still that it seems to stop my heart 

I remember you in a black and white photograph 

Taken this time of some year 

You were leaving against a half-shed tree 

Standing in the leaves the tree had lost 


The night is so still that I 

Forget to breathe 

When I finally exhale it 

Takes forever to be over 


Tonight 

There are people gettin' just what they need 

Tonight 

There are people gettin' just what they need 


Tonight there are people who are so happy 

That they have forgotten 

To worry about tomorrow 


Somewhere people 

Have entirely forgotten about tomorrow 

My hand trails in the water 

I should not have 

Dropped those oars 

Such a soft wind 

Such a soft wind 


Tonight 

There are people gettin' just what they need 

Tonight 

There are people gettin' just what they need 

Tonight 

There are people gettin' just what they need 

Tonight 

There are people gettin' just what they need 


Tonight
