Lyrics

October Flame ©
I haven’t written a lot of love songs, ever had good reason to
And now they’re all that I can think of when I’m lying here next to you
And like the first breath I take, an autumn morning I awake
You fill me up and you revive me, you set me free
The harvest moon was like a pumpkin in the sky
And the shadows danced across your face
From the bonfire light
A kiss of your painted lips and you became
My October flame

Jack o’ lanterns in the windows, paper ghosts floating in the breeze
The children running up and down our street wishing us a Happy Halloween
Then the cool night air takes your coal-black hair away from your dark eyes
And in my mind I go straight back to the night
That the harvest moon was like a pumpkin in the sky
And the shadows danced across your face
From the bonfire light
A kiss of your painted lips and you became

All I’d ever wanted, everything that I’d been dreaming of
The answer to every prayer that I sent to the stars above
How could I have known that I would find all I’d been searching for?
Well I don’t wonder anymore

Together we watch the winter snow, cold gray days that come and go
Spring returns and my child of the earth looks like an angel in fields of yellow
The world all in bloom, the seasons in change
But here in our hearts October’s still ablaze
From the Georgia mountain rain
All the way to the sea
Anytime I know, anywhere I go
She’ll be there with me
And even through the summer nights
You will remain my October flame
