October - Walter Martin

Summer has gone

The nights are getting colder

The winds howl so strong

As time blows past my shoulder

October is here

Owls and bats

Fly across my window

The possums and the rats

Hide down in the shadows

October is here

Will these winds bring demons and creeps?

I’ll keep my eyes wide open

To a sky so dark and deep

Sorry Ma, there’s no chance I’m going to sleep

The trees have gone bald

Guess the world is getting older

October is here

Will these winds bring tremors and fear?

Tell you, Ma, I’m not scared

‘Cause tonight the night is clear

There’s just something in the air this time of year

Summer has gone

The nights are getting colder

The winds howl so strong

As time blows past my shoulder

October is here
