David Roberts: Boys of autumn lyrics

David Roberts

Boys of autumn

She's hangin' the clothes on the line

You're layin' by the river

You've still got them on your mind

It's makin' you shiver

The summer didn't last that long

'Cause now it's September

But you must remember

To leave the porch light on

Boys will be boys

But whatever happens to the boys of autumn

Boys will be boys

And you won't forget those boys of autumn

You painted the leaves in July

That's when you had a reason

Now you watch as they fall from the sky

They're touchin' down for the season

Deep inside you will always realize

What you saw was never in their eyes

But you can forgive

Those adolescent lies

And boys will be boys

But whatever happens to the boys of autumn

Boys will be boys

And you won't forget those boys of autumn

As you get a little older

It gets a little colder

But when the winter's over

They become the boys of summer again

She's hangin' the clothes on the line

You're layin' by the river

You've still got them on your mind

It's makin' you shiver

The summer didn't last that long

'Cause now it's September

But you must remember

To leave the porch light on

And boys will be boys

But whatever happens to the boys of autumn

Boys will be boys

And you won't forget those boys of autumn

And boys will be boys

But whatever happens to the boys of autumn

Boys will be boys

And you won't forget those boys of autumn
