Strawbs - October To May lyrics

rate me

Summer's gone come chill October days<br />

We will stroll through russet trees<br />

Through the fallen leaves of oak and sycamore<br />

That carpet earth through harsh December freeze.<br />

<br />

Fireworks and children with eyes that sparkle bright<br />

In November's Guy Fawkes flames<br />

Parents thinking of their forgotten years<br />

As they join in with their children's games.<br />

<br />

December brings nostalgic Santa Claus<br />

Toys and shining Christmas trees<br />

Families huddled round their open fires<br />

As they wait for winter's grip to ease.<br />

<br />

Seaside piers, iron girders gaunt and still<br />

Gone the crowds of yesterday<br />

Icy fingers in the sea at night<br />

Sad and empty tears the first of May.
