lyrics

Scholars are walking' September's here.
Building my life for one more year.
Wanderin' in orchards, covered in rain,
Buildin' my life as September came.

So won't you wake up, wake up Autumn
Wake up won't you please.
Fill my lungs with lake wind, honey
Set fire to the trees.

Gettin' up early, crisp is the day.
Covered in sweaters until next May.
Cinnamon, nutmeg stuck in my hair,
Winter is callin' but October's here.

So won't you wake up, wake up Autumn
Wake up won't you please.
Fill my lungs with lake wind, honey
Set fire to the trees.

Corduroys and coffee days.
Harvest moon, stayin' up late.
Playin' in leaf piles, clutchin' my dreams,
With each year passing shorter it seems.

So won't you wake up, wake up Autumn
Wake up won't you please.
Fill my lungs with lake wind, honey
Set fire to the trees.

So won't you wake up, wake up Autumn
Wake up won't you please.
Fill my lungs with lake wind, honey
Set fire to the trees.
