Gillian Welch Fair September Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was on a fair September night
That my lover came to me
I said, "Darling girl, you're strange to me now
Not like you used to be"
I remember you as a beautiful rose
Out in the morning light
But now your cheeks so silent and pale
And you only walk at night

[Refrain]
Oh yes, the sun is hateful and sore
On the racing streets at noon
And so I wait alone through the day And like the jasmine bloom

[Verse 2]
Then she left me there as I Iay in a thirst
That water could not quell
And her voice was sad and soft in her throat
As she bid mе last farewell

[Refrain]
And now the sun is hatеful and sore
On the racing streets at noon
And so I wait alone through the day
And like the jasmine bloom
