lonely longing for end-of-summer nights

this is not an elevator song
it's not about how they go up
and how they go down
like the notes on the board
and the sound of these chords
and the path yet explored
goodnight, town

what it is is a sweet little song
it's not too short and (oh god i hope that)
it won't be too long
there's a chill to the air
and i just can't bear
moving on
so long, so long

not a day may pass us by
where i don't stop and sweetly sigh
and think of those end-of-summer nights

but the night's just comin' right on down
and autumn's in its bright red crown
will wear itself until it's dead and brown

and i'll be by your side
and i'll be by your side
