THE LYRICS:
September girl
Daydreams of her young days
Before living
Molded her stone-set ways
Her movies played unhappy
Viewed in deadchinaOctober girl
Umbrellad by another man
Even the new house in the new state
Eventually will irritate her
Her music played unhappy
Heard in deadchinaBeen through the state of changing
But no rearranging
Seemed to bring the state of changed
Some habits don't die easyNovember girl
Dreams 30 years go by
Then in the dream she turned to 50
(Ain’t it funny how time flies)
Then in the dream she died
Her play ended unhappy
Written in deadchinaMisunderstanding
(What’s it take to make her happy?)
Miss understanding
(She always is unhappy)
Missed understanding
(But don’t give up on her)
How much have you learned?
