First of October

The summer's over

The leaves are falling

All around my door

Then I walk in

Early morning talking

Can't you hear us whispering?

Walking knocks your floor

Walking on your floor

Well I'm going deeper

My brother's keeper

I'm looking out for him

The best I can

He's getting older

The year is colder

Got to lean a little closer now

Hear what he's saying

Hear what he's saying

We'll go out 'round then

All through brown now

Long shadows falling

Far out ahead

Those hips have grown now

The year isn't slowed down

Your long hair and long dress

Let them fall for me

Let them fall for me

And will you wait for me to come home?

Will you wait for me?

Brother

Put the weight on me

Brother

Put that weight on me

Great works don't lie there

Ground up and dry there

They wait for impatiently

Your hands to find

Leap through the cages

Can't you feel the ages

Rise up like dust now

In the sunlight there

In the sunlight

And will you wait for me to come home?

Will you wait for me?

Brother

Put your weight on me

Brother

Put the weight on me

Sister

Put that weight on me

Sister

Put that weight on me

Well I'm going deeper

My brother's keeper

I'm looking out for him

The best I can
