listen Autumn Equinox Blues
well the sun is going down, it goes down earlier every day
the sun is going down, it goes down earlier every day
and it's time for getting ready to go to sleep or fly away
so it's goodbye summer,
and no more sun upon my skin
goodbye summer, no more sun upon my skin
lochs and seas and rivers are now too cold for swimming in
wrap me in velvet blackness,
and let me dream away the night
wrap me in velvet blackness, and let me dream away the night
if it weren't for the alarm clock and the electric light
simple harmonic motion,
ooh it makes me feel so strange
simple harmonic motion, it has my senses all deranged
for the point of perfect balance, it has the fastest rate of change
well the sun is coming up, it comes up
later every morn
well the sun is coming up, it comes up
later every morn
and if I can't fly with the swallows please let me sleep till dawn
