(Skip Ewing/Max D. Barnes)
Beck here the leaves are turning
On me just like you
Change is full of color
And it's anything but blue
I thought that I'd stop living
Without you here to hold
But I'm just not that lonesome
And autumn's not that cold
That summer sun was setting
When you set your sights to leave
And I braced myself believing
It would bring me to my knees
Oh,but here it is October
Oh the leaves are turning gold
Each night a little bluer
But autumns not that cold
I know before too long
I'll feel the chill that winter brings
But by then I'll just be looking
Forward to another Spring
I'm almost feel guilty
That the hurts not taking hold
Guess I'm just not that lonesome
And autumns not that coldI haven't seen your face round
Since I was a kid
You're bringing back those memories
Of the thing that we did
You're hangin' round
And climbing trees
Pretending to fly
D'yer wanna be a spaceman
And live in the sky?
You got how many bills to pay
And how many kids
And you forgot about
The things that we did
The town where we're living
Has made you a man
And all of your dreams
Are washed away in the sand
Well it's alright
It's alright
Who are you and me to say
What's wrong and what's right?
Do you still feel like me?
We sit down here
And we shall see
We can talk
And find common ground
And we can just forget
About feeling down
We can just forget
About life in this town
It's funny how your dreams
Change as you're growing old
You don't wanna be no spaceman
You just want the gold
All the dream stealers
Are lying in wait
But if you wanna be a spaceman
It's still not too late
Well it's alright
And it's alright
Who are you and me to say
What's wrong and what's right?
Do you still feel like me?
We sit down here
And we shall see
We can talk
And find common ground
And we can just forget
About feeling down
We can just forget
About life in this town
