[Verse 1]
October came in quietly
With amber in the trees
A colder wind was wandering
And pulling at the leaves
The summer disappeared somewhere
Beyond the fading gold
And every road looked different
From the one I used to know
[Pre-Chorus]
So turn with me
While the daylight fades
Nothing ever
Stays the same
[Chorus]
When October comes
Let the old leaves fall
Let the wind move through us
Let it change it all
We can’t hold the summer
We can’t stop the sun
So we’ll keep on turning
When October comes
[Verse 2]
The evening comes a little soon
The shadows stretch and sway
The trees let go so easily
Of everything they made
Maybe there is something there
In knowing when to fall
A quiet kind of courage
In not holding on at all
[Pre-Chorus]
So turn with me
Through the changing light
One more circle
Into night
[Chorus]
When October comes
Let the old leaves fall
Let the wind move through us
Let it change it all
We can’t hold the summer
We can’t stop the sun
So we’ll keep on turning
When October comes
[Bridge]
And if the branches empty
If the colors disappear
There is still a rhythm
Moving underneath the year
One, two, three
And breathe again
One, two, three
Begin again
[Final Chorus]
When October comes
Let the whole world turn
Every ending leaves us
Something new to learn
We don’t need forever
To know what we’ve become
Just keep moving forward
When October comes
[Outro]
One, two, three
The leaves come down
One, two, three
We turn around
And somewhere in the silence
A new season has begun
When October comes
