[Verse 1]
Laura lays on the foot of the bed
Mimics a noose with the telephone cord
Doctor's on the phone, and she hangs up and says
"I ain't never gonna see the winter again"
Then I don't know how, but she smiles

[Chorus]
September, September
September, September

[Verse 2]
They carved your name into a stone, then they put it in the ground
I run my fingers through the grooves when no one's around
Drink 'til I'm sick, then I talk to myself
In the dog days of the summer
Then I feel you coming, but I don't know how

[Chorus]
September, September
September, September
