Last October – Green River Ordinance

It’s the turning of the leaves
It’s the way you looked at me when you said one and one makes one
And I tried just to believe that some things will always change
Yeah, I watched the yellows fade but not this

We were standing proud and strong
Kings and queens of all we saw and now the air was turning cold
Yeah, I never thought we’d fall
It’s hard to see the leaves between the forest and the trees from right here

How dare I push you away?

Is it too late?
It’s a winding road that may take more than we know
Is it too hard?
Have we gone too far to lose this last October?
This last October

If the courage you can’t find, just to say what’s on your mind
Leaves you quiet and alone tossing, turning through the night
Here’s the bitter and the sweet
The second chance we really need to right this

So much I’ve wanted to say

Is it too late?
It’s a winding road that may take more than we know
Is it too hard?
Have we gone too far to lose this last October?

Just get through this winter and we’ll be fine
Feel the warmth of summer, it’s waiting, I’m waiting

Is it too late?
It’s a winding road that may take more than we know
Is it too hard?
Have we gone too far away?

Is it too late?
It’s a winding road that may take more than we know
Is it too hard?
Have we gone too far to lose this last October?
This last October, this last October
