I haven't slept since September Savoring a dream that I can no longer remember Because the crows have picked me all but clean Chipped away at flesh and bone I'm naked and unseen I think we're better off this way Bare and cold and broken The rains have fallen and then frozen There's no smoke in the walkway Just a ghost in the ashtray Of a fading little ember And the fleeting memory Of the dream I had last September.

September
I haven't slept since September Savoring a dream that I can no longer remember Because the crows have picked me all but clean Chipped away at flesh and bone I'm naked and unseen I think we're better off this way Bare and cold and broken The rains have fallen and then frozen There's no smoke in the walkway Just a ghost in the ashtray Of a fading little ember And the fleeting memory Of the dream I had last September.
