Intro: Verse Since the day you were born I've been searching for the Octobers I remember The late afternoon Air crisp as a Julien apple With a handful Of gravel to throw At the bats swooping over the neighborhood My jacket zipped up to the hood with love I never understood 'Til the day you were born Now I'm searching for an October To show ya Instrumental x3 Then son you spied With your momma's blue eyes From my shoulders Your October Saying "ha ha daddy the ghosties are scary I like them and My jacket may be lighter than Yours was when you were toddling And the leaves may not be hanging in there long But it's colder than September was You still make the cider momma loves And the blowup ghosts still haunt the neighbors' lawns" Instrumental We shall be saved By the words coming out of the mouths of babes Not the glow of a cellular phone singing "Hey hey hey Ain't you wonderin' if you're gonna be laughing or coughing all the way to the bank?" We shall be saved By the words coming out of the mouths of babes Not the glow of a cellular phone singing "Hey hey hey - Ain't you wonderin' if you're gonna be laughing or coughing all the way to the bank?" Your jacket may be lighter than Mine was when I was toddling But the leaves are really hanging in there Pretty as a gift shop picture It's colder than September was I can still make the cider momma loves And the blowup ghosts still haunt the neighbors' lawns And they and you and all of this Remind me son that ever since The day you were born I've been searching for my Octobers You've been searching for nothing and seeing whatever's in front of you and so now do your mother and I And in the blink of an eye Your Octobers Will be the ones we're Remembering
