October Showing Off

Verse 1

Cold on the window in the morning

Leaves running circles down the road

Fields turning quiet at the edges

Summer finally letting go

There’s a little smoke above the houses

Pumpkins lined outside the store

Every mile looks like a postcard

October showing off once more

Verse 2

Gold in the trees and rust in the ditches

Red where the sunlight catches fire

I drive the long way for no reason

Just to watch the day get tired

There’s a church bell somewhere in the distance

Crows lifting from an empty field

Everything is almost leaving

Everything is somehow real

Chorus

October, don’t hurry

I know you never stay

You dress the world in every color

Then you give it all away

Maybe that’s the kind of beauty

I’m finally learning to believe

You don’t have to hold a thing forever

To be grateful while it leaves

Verse 3

Someone’s coming home from somewhere

Counting down the miles at last

There are still a few roads left between us

But they’re getting fewer fast

Soon the trees will all be empty

Soon the first cold rain will fall

But tonight the sky is copper

And I don’t mind change at all

Chorus

October, don’t hurry

I know you never stay

You dress the world in every color

Then you give it all away

Maybe that’s the kind of beauty

I’m finally learning to believe

You don’t have to hold a thing forever

To be grateful while it leaves

Bridge

The year knows it is turning

So it burns before it goes

Gold along the highway

Fire in the maples

One last beautiful hello

Final Chorus

October, keep your secrets

In the smoke and cooling air

In the roads that lead us homeward

In the hands we finally dare

Maybe endings aren’t the ending

Maybe winter isn’t grief

Maybe something can be changing

And still feel like relief

Outro

Cold on the window in the morning

Leaves running circles down the road

October showing off again

Before it lets us go

Megacorp Pavillion

Is anyone going to the concert at Megacorp? Are there seats inside or is it a standing concert? My friend and I are both disabled and can't stand for the concert. When I found that this might be the case, I tried transferring my tickets to the handicapped section. I am having so much trouble.

Song

​

Follow the Fireflies

Verse 1

When the porch light fades behind you

And the road forgets your name,

When the fields turn into shadows

And every mile looks the same,

Don't go looking for a signpost,

Don't go listening to the phone—

Follow the fireflies,

They will lead you home.

Verse 2

Past the fence where honeysuckle

Climbs the rusted garden gate,

Past the creek that keeps on talking

Like it doesn't know it's late,

There's a little light still dancing

Where the tall June grasses grow—

Follow the fireflies,

They know the way home.

Chorus

Follow the fireflies,

Little lanterns in the dark,

They don't need to know the whole way,

Just the next place they should spark.

When the night gets wide around you

And you feel you're all alone,

Follow the fireflies,

They will lead you home.

Verse 3

Maybe home is not a doorway,

Maybe home is not a town,

Maybe it's the one who knows you

When your walls are coming down.

Maybe it's a kitchen window

Throwing gold across the road—

Follow the fireflies,

They know where to go.

Bridge

Some things find you without calling,

Some things wait without a sound,

Some lights aren't meant for shining—

Just enough to turn you 'round.

And a thousand tiny flickers

Can make a darkness less unknown...

Final Chorus

Follow the fireflies,

Little lanterns in the dark,

You don't need to see forever,

You just need one little spark.

When you've wandered past your courage,

When you're tired down to the bone,

Follow the fireflies,

Follow them slow—

Follow the fireflies,

They will lead you home.

Outro

Meet me where the crickets sing,

Where the summer grasses roam...

Follow the fireflies.

They will lead you home.

Flooding

So the Collective won't let me post. This last week Illinois, Indiana and Ohio have had really bad flooding. I live in Muncie/Yorktown. I know that there is a river right by the venue in Peoria and was hoping everything is fine. More rain to come over the weekend.
