felt the metal on my skin
the temperature was dropping fast
i heard the engine of a slow car
i move aside and let it pass

but is it you?
in the sway of the trees
is it you?
in the air that i breathe

pull my coat over my head
make my way thru the pouring rain
sun surrenders to this dark mourning
and i crawl aboard the last
the last train home

carried thru another night
by some ethereal angel of fate
she waves goodbye from the shadows
i reach to touch her but its too late
head against the window
the rhythm of the wheels make a sad sad song
and i knew i'd lose my october baby
somewhere in-between the hours
somewhere in the light of the fall
i imagine the moon flowers
years go by without a single call

where are you?
in the sway of the trees
where are you?
in the air that i breathe

hearing distant coversations
ive been sleeping on the floor
imaginary invitations
on the dresser by the door

carried thru another night
by some ethereal angel of fate
she waves goodbye from the shadows
i reach to touch her but its always too late
head against the window
the rhythm of the wheels make a sad sad song
and i knew i'd lose my october baby
