Cello by Ben Johnson
Lyrics
I thought that love might make her stay
And I’d loved her before I even knew her name
She’s September
But some have sails and can’t help it
When the wind sweeps them away
Her name’s September
She said, “Stay with me tonight
For the night is cold and dead when I’m alone.”
Her face hung there so lovely, pale, and white
And I knew that I was going to try to catch the moon
Someday, I’ll call your name
And the sound will roll across the wheat
And echo off a distant wall
And you’ll bounce back to me
For a season we had love
And kept it like a bird to hear it sing
Through the summer
Its song was young and wild
And I knew that I would never clip its wings
Clip your wings
So I said, “Stay with me tonight
For the night is cold and dead when I’m alone”
And we soared upon your lovely wings of white
Our shadows cast across the climbing moon
Bridge:
Something wrong with the feeling
Of the chill morning Autumn air
I turn in bed to warm you
And no one’s there
Final Chorus:
Someday, I’ll call your name
And the sound will roll across the fields, across the years
And echo off a distant memory
And you’ll bounce back to me
