[Intro]
D G/D D A D
[Verse]
D G/D D A D
I sing you this October song, there is no song before it,
D G/D D A D
the words and tune are none of my own, for my joys and sorrows bore it.
D C/D G/B D A D
Beside the sea, the brambly briars in the still of evening,
D G/D D A D
birds fly out behind the sun, and with them I'll be leaving.
[Verse]
D G/D D A D
The fallen leaves that jewel the ground, they know "The Art of Dying",
D G/D D A D
and leave with joy their glad gold hearts, in the scarlet shadows lying.
D C/D G/B D A D
When hunger calls my footsteps home, the morning follows after,
D G/D D A D
I swim the seas within my mind, and the pine trees laugh green laughter.
[Verse]
D G/D D A D
I used to search for happiness, I used to follow pleasure,
D G/D D A D
but I found a door behind my mind, and that's the greatest treasure.
D C/D G/B D A D
For rulers like to lay down laws, and rebels like to break them,
D G/D D A D
and poor priests like to walk in chains, and God likes to forsake them.
[Verse]
D G/D D A D
I met a man who's name was Time, he said "I must be going",
D G/D D A D
but just how long ago that was, I have no way of knowing.
D C/D G/B D A D
Sometimes I want to murder Time, sometimes when my heart's aching,
D G/D D A D
but mostly I just stroll along the path that he is taking.
