| [00:06.62] |
On a day just like this on the ocean, four years ago now. |
| [00:10.49] |
|
| [00:13.42] |
The wind was too strong, the waves were too big, three young men were thrown of the bow |
| [00:18.95] |
|
| [00:21.82] |
And I was at home when they were fighting towards mother earth |
| [00:25.77] |
|
| [00:28.96] |
And two of them died only twenty years after their birth |
| [00:32.57] |
|
| [00:34.95] |
In October, oh |
| [00:39.70] |
|
| [00:41.76] |
And the last of the three was left hopelessly crying for help |
| [00:45.51] |
|
| [00:48.46] |
The wind was screaming but the silence was stronger as he stood with his feet in the kelp |
| [00:54.20] |
|
| [00:56.63] |
The sun was still up, but it was night time when I heard who died |
| [01:01.37] |
|
| [01:03.68] |
I only knew Eric 'cause one time he gave me a ride |
| [01:07.49] |
|
| [01:09.92] |
In October, oh |
| [01:14.16] |
|
| [01:16.60] |
Now, I didn't know him well, but I liked him, he was one of those guys |
| [01:21.09] |
|
| [01:23.28] |
That everyone knew either liked him or not, 'cause there were no sign of lies in his eyes |
| [01:29.14] |
|
| [01:31.53] |
I was seventeen years old the last time he spoke to me |
| [01:35.71] |
|
| [01:38.70] |
Now I'm twenty one and I'm older than he'll ever be |
| [01:42.07] |
|
| [01:44.88] |
In October, oh |
| [01:49.56] |
|
| [01:51.68] |
My father is his mothers cousin, so that makes us kin |
| [01:55.30] |
|
| [01:58.42] |
I remember those family dinners, and the old peoples funerals again and again |
| [02:03.64] |
|
| [02:06.64] |
So strange looking 'round in the crowd when he wouldn't be found |
| [02:10.94] |
|
| [02:13.50] |
Oh, the look on the face of his brother when they lowered him down |
| [02:17.58] |
|
| [02:20.08] |
In October, oh |
| [02:24.62] |
|
| [03:02.00] |
October is the best, turns roads into beautiful trails |
| [03:05.20] |
|
| [03:08.64] |
The rime on the windows, the leafs on your coat, the frost on the cars and the rails |
| [03:14.44] |
|
| [03:16.94] |
Still, out on the ocean, those memories are bringing me down |
| [03:20.80] |
|
| [03:23.99] |
But I've heard there's a symphony playing you to sleep when you drown |
| [03:28.17] |
|
| [03:30.16] |
October, again and again |
| [03:34.27] |
|
| [03:36.08] |
