lyrics

All day long's just been a shadow
I'm jumping over puddles of yesterday's rain
I'm gonna hide out till the clouds roll over
Until a smile is easier to maintain
And it's coming on November
Doesn't mean an end to my sunny days
It ain't the lack of light outside that makes it hard
To see all the colour between all the greys

The sun is goin' down a lot earlier these days
The sun is goin' down down down a lot earlier these days
The sun is goin' down a lot earlier
A whole lot easier
Mmm Mmmm mmm mm

What did I do with that extra hour?
Was it best used just sleeping in ?
Work that day felt a whole lot longer
Came home not really knowing where I'd been
This time of year just makes me crazy
My reckless heart don't want to behave
I'm thinking on the years that I put behind me
Oh I need all the time I can save

Chorus
Bridge
So long, so long have a happy Halloween
Here I'm already thinking about New Year's Eve
and the clock on my kitchen wall still says it's one fifteen
Must be time to leave

I get off the couch with hesitation
Living by the words of the weatherman
He says no chance of precipitation
I still open the door holding out my hand

Chorus
La la la
