The October Song
The Corries

I'll sing you my October song

There is no song before it

The words and tune are not my own

My joy and sorrow bore it

Beside the sea

the brambly brier

In the still of evening

Birds fly out from behind the sun

And with them I'll be leaving

The fallen leaves bejewel the ground

They know the art of dying

And leave with joy their glad gold hearts

In scarlet shadows lying

When hunger calls my weary footsteps home

The morning follows after

I swim the seas within my mind

The pine trees laugh green laughter

I met a man who's name was time

He said I must be going

But just how long ago that was

I have no way of knowing

Sometimes I could murder time

When my heart is aching

But mostly I just like to stroll along

The path that he is taking
