Well, the sun's not so hot
in the sky today
and you know i can see
summertime slipping on away.
a few more geese are gone,
a few more leaves turning red,
but the grass is as soft
as a feather in a featherbed.
so i'll be king and you'll be queen,
our kingdom's gonna be
this little patch of green.
won't you lie down here right now
in this september grass?
won't you lie down with me now,
september grass.
Oh, the memory is like
the sweetest pain.
yeah, i kissed the girl
at a football game.
i can still smell the sweat
and the grass stains.
we walked home together,
i was never the same.
but that was a long time ago,
and where is she now?
i don't know.
won't you lie down here right now
in this september grass?
won't you lie down with me now,
september grass.
Oh, september grass
is the sweetest kind,
it goes down easy
like apple wine.
hope you don't mind
if i pour you some,
made that much sweeter
by the winter to come.
Do you see those ants
dancing on a blade of grass?
do you know what i know?
that's you and me, baby.
we're so small
and the world's so vast,
we found each other
down in the grass.
won't you lie down here right now
in this september grass?
won't you lie down with me now,
september grass.
Lie down, lie down, lie down, lie down.
Won't you lie down here right now
in this september grass?
won't you lie down with me now,
september grass.
won't you lie down here right now
in this september grass?
won't you lie down with me now,
september grass...
