Fine rain was falling on the gravel and glades

The last rays of September bejeweled broken blades

But there's someone that I long for, oh, where have you been?

As the red earth lies under a covering of green



Do you trip on the city's golden gutters and kerbs?

As the seasons grow wild and the ground undisturbed

'Til you find what you are now is less than you've been

As the red earth lies under a covering of green



Is patience exhausted? Are your pockets picked clean?

I was lost in the next world or somewhere in between

And it's much as predicted, they go down that same track

They say they'll return but they never come back



Fine rain was falling on the gravel and glades

The lest rays of September bejeweled broken blades

Are you still restless, or are you serene?

As the red earth lies under just a covering of green



Fine rain was falling
