october   (lyrics by scott haskitt. music by haskitt, dale)

you've been watching me
and it feels like a fevered dream
could you wake up and talk to me
will the phone line still weigh you down
you run, and it's so awkwardly clear
that you stand like you know where i'm from
if you're blind, i'll be bluntly sincere
i just want you to know how far i have come just waiting in here

ever once again,
could you find me out of disguise
touch down and i'm free again
i could fly but i've nowhere to go when i rise
if there's still harmony inside
we might just run it all dry
so i set my demons free last night
to keep the melody from drowning alive

i've been wrecklessly wrong before
but something keeps breathing her name
it's cold, and i'll stay here on the shore
while the leaves hang low from the rain
don't rush me til' it passes
cause i believe in this month every year
so i say hello october, good-bye my dear

if you run off west, i'm eastbound
don't change your direction of follow me around
one month from now, where will i stand
is a question i posed, standing right here back then
and i swore i'm not what i mean
as i wrote in a letter to your friend
it changes every other day
i'm always tired, sick or just love spent

as the evening falls on you and i feel i spoke my peace
and i can't rest without a soul or a sound just to wake me
when you're face-up in the rain, there ain't nothing you can say
to keep it from falling down, from rushing out onto you

mr weatherman, you ruined my plans today
so i think i'll step inside for a while
and stare myself down
until there's something good to say
