RubyJoyful - October Skies

6. October Skies (6:51)

The paint is peelin’ off the southern wall
The roof is steady, but the shingles fall
The light is fadin’, all the grass is burned
Apples freeze when the leaves have turned

Moon is wanin’, all our friends are gone
River’s droppin’, so ya’ know it won’t be long
The pass is closin’, all the thistles dry
Words are short from the by and by

Letters were written
Tacked to the wall
The age of indifference
Voices call
The ring that you’re wearin’
Won’t last at all
But the song that I wrote ya’
...survives the fall

Blue fades to black, but not our love
The art of catastrophe, have you had enough
Your mama she told ya’, here lies the rhyme
You caught the meanin’, but you missed the sign

Letters were written
Tacked to the wall
The age of indifference
Voices call
The ring that you’re wearin’
Won’t last at all
But the song that I wrote ya’
...survives the fall

Together remember
October skies
The age of indifference
Voices cry
Nothin’ worth leavin’
These hallowed halls
‘cept the song that I wrote ya’
...should you survive the fall
