6th of October

from So Long, Babylon! (2020) by Blake Starkey

lyrics

Lying in my room
Quite late one night
Another memory
Made me lose my sight
While something very strange
Made me walk outside
So I walked outside
And I died inside

I had nothing to lose
But I lost it all
And when she told me
Then I started to ball
It was really no good and
I knew it would be
But at the time
I could just hardly believe

The leaves are turning
Over and over
On the darkest night
The 6th of October

The leaves are turning
Over and over
With every year
I’ve grown a bit colder

The leaves are turning
Over and over
On the darkest night
The 6th of October

The leaves are turning
Over and over
On the darkest night
The 6th of October

It’s the time of the year
When the flower dies
It’s the kind of night
When the ghost will rise
Searching for the girl
With the dancing eyes
Who could stay all day
But leave next night

It’s the time of your life
When all else dies
But I surely tried
Yes, I surely tried
I had nothing to lose
But I started to fall
But in the madness
I regained it all

The leaves are turning
Over and over
On the darkest night
The 6th of October

The leaves are turning
Over and over
With every year
I’ve grown a bit colder

The leaves are turning
Over and over
On the darkest night
The 6th of October

The leaves are turning
Over and over
On the darkest night
The 6th of October

Sometimes I hear a voice
Going around my head
And it comes to me
At night in my bed
I could be going crazy
It’s what they said
But I linger on
I surely did
I’m haunted by your face
Everywhere I look
And my soul cries out
For what she took
I was searching for the girl
With the dancing eyes
Who could steal my heart
And fatigue my mind


The leaves are turning
Over and over
On the darkest night
The 6th of October

The leaves are turning
Over and over
With every year
I’ve grown a bit colder

The leaves are turning
Over and over
On the darkest night
The 6th of October

The leaves are turning
Over and over
On the darkest night
The 6th of October
