Текст песни: September Song + перевод

The wild geese flew overhead in Pennsylvania

I thought of a few choice words I ought to send you

You know if I thought it was right

I’d pretend that you were here with me tonight

The ghost of a frontier lady walked through the tall rooms

Of an old Ontario farmhouse under a full moon

We sat in the kitchen all night

Drinking good whiskey until the morning light

Did you ever think I would go

Out on this road you told me I would take

Long ago

On a Roanoke back-road, laughing beside a cold stove

We sang for old black Francis and Bessie, songs about true love

All the songs I ever knew

Came back to me and brought me back to you

The leaves were turning, we felt the summer passing

Knowing things were changing, even without asking

Like a photograph faded in time

In a cabin lost in the Blue Ridge mountain pines

The wind is blowing cold across the bay

And Massachusetts seems so far away

From the California tides

The rolling hills and roads I used to ride

I’ll be leaving in the morning, seeing faces

Of friends I leave behind in all these places

And though I’m coming home

I’m not coming back to California all alone

You always knew I would go

Out on this road you took yourself once

So long ago
