Well, the sun's not so hot in the sky today
  And you know I can see summertime slipping on away
  A few more geese are gone, a few more leaves turning red
  But the grass is as soft as a feather in a featherbed
  So I'll be king and you'll be queen
  Our kingdom's gonna be this little patch of green
  
  Won't you lie down here right now
  In this September grass
  Won't you lie down with me now
  September grass
  
  Oh the memory is like the sweetest pain
  Yeah, I kissed the girl at a football game
  I can still smell the sweat and the grass stains
  We walked home together. I was never the same.
  
  But that was a long time ago
  And where is she now? I don't know
  
  Won't you lie down here right now
  In this September grass
  Won't you lie down with me now
  September grass
  
  Oh, September grass is the sweetest kind
  It goes down easy like apple wine
  Hope you don't mind if I pour you some
  Made that much sweeter by the winter to come
  
  Do you see those ants dancing on a blade of grass?
  Do you know what I know? That's you and me, baby
  We're so small and the world's so vast
  We found each other down in the grass
  
  Won't you lie down with me right here
  September grass
  Won't you lie down with me now
  In this September grass
  
  Lie down
  Lie down
  Lie down
  Lie down
  
  (repeat)
  
  Won't you lie down here right now
  In this September grass
  Won't you lie down here now
  In this September grass
