There's a crack of blue in an all grey sky There's a flock of birds and I wave good-bye And all the leaves around have changed their colors I kind of like the fall, but I really hate the winter And after work the boys all meet at Joe's garage Talkin' 'bout the rebuilt engine in some old Dodge Joe's a northern boy, but folks still respect him He lets every single car get by the state inspection Driving on, this road is long, it's like loneliness There's a big white house, it's my favorite It makes me think that there's such thing as perfect Makes me think of all the dreams still to come yet There's a crack of white in the sky so soon And I recall a song about a harvest moon That I learned back when I was a second grader When we'd sit and cut out pumpkins from construction paper Back at home with my book half-read My cat and me are sprawled out on my bed The sun goes down, it's time to feed her I wish I had a fireplace instead of a heater Something here will find me Some voice right behind me Somehow will remind me of this time last year There's a smack of cold on a night like this There's a big white breath in October's kiss Used to be, it all made me sad somehow But I'll tell you what, it ain't so bad now
