Bright September Lyrics by Jodee Lewis

Whiskey Halo

0

The winter thaw had broken and the days were getting longer
You saddled up to ride into the town
All the dreary months of staring out the window, quite alone
Had given you an itch to settle down
That poisonous wind that followed you from Santa Fe to Tulsa
Died down when you turned and headed north
It might be just the time to end this loneliness
And if it’s not, you’ve handled things like this before
Marry her in bright September
Tell yourself she never has to know
Cause deception doesn’t feel the same in summer
When you haven’t got the cover of the snow
The autumn sees you walking by the river
Making plans to build a home for her next year
When she tells you there will be a child in May or June
You smile, because this time you’re in the clear
Marry her in bright September
Tell yourself she never has to know
Cause deception doesn’t feel the same in summer
When you haven’t got the cover of the snow
Now the fall is getting deeper and a wind is blowing
One last trip to town before the freeze
As she hurries off to send a letter to her mother
You taste familiar blood upon the breeze
She is slowly coming toward you with a whiteness
Reflected from the poster in her hand
Just a picture that she’d never thought to look for
Of a husband and a sorely wanted man
Bury her in grey December
Strike out on your own
You can put a couple thousand miles between you
While she lies beneath the cover of the snow
