brilliant red fading orange dull brown

this song is a sequal, cause i believe there should be sequals to songs like sequals to movies. the first song was ol' standbye, about the summer sun.

i remember last year when you needed me

but now you have someone else to

keep out the cold, someone else to make new memories

the fat full moon would appear and we'd tag along

collect the dead summer and organize its colors, bottom to top

then we'd take a deep breathe and perform a summer bellyflop

           but now you have a new friend to carry the chapstick

           for your wind dried flaky lips

i remember swaying on our front porch, it was the start of fall

the sun cooked us and the last leaves fell

we tried to savor summer and battled out one last inning of baseball

you and buttoned up neighborhood kids broke a sweat

but ghost runners gave you a break and the brisk air

caused the game to end in a tie

         just in time to go

          watch a new beginning to our favorite tv show

                        you used to rush to me when the summer sun burned out

                        to keep you warm from the inside out

                        arms would strangle me and i'd embrace

                        your soft frost nipped face

autumn has the sun cooling down

but were not warming up

im left hanging on a brass hook

while you come and go enjoying our old traditions with a fresh friend

   but i guess, all good things, must come, to an end

                         you used to rush to me.........chorus

like the summer i have been replaced, its

by a 100%, preshrunk, amateur  jacket

       to guard you from the frigid fall

thanks for reading
