The leaves burn auburn red

The Asheville skies and timber

Are holding on to it

But I cannot remember

That fleeting hopeful song

That rose of our September

Forget who I am and get out of this place

Pretend to be somebody other than me

And go on living that way

Bm                       F#m
Could hope have sprung eternal

On darkened, dreary roads?

G                         D                              
The heart that beats nocturnal

F#
Knows not where it goes

Bm                   F#m
We listen for the signal

Em                  Bm 
To raise the dirt again

Our livelihood is equal 

F#
To the air that breathes us in

I'd welcome you home just to turn you away

Shuffle the cards by the light of the day

Pretend that the worst of it got left behind

And go on living that way

Till all the dreams we left in our wake

Come back to me as the joy we forsake

Tell me whatever is burning the fires we made
