Somewhere in September (The Vigil) Written by: jackie johnson Twilight on the prairie, shadows long and scary But the sand gets cool when the evening sun goes down With one last look, he turns his back and makes his way to his lonely shack That stands beside the road that leads to town Where did she go? No one really knows But it was Somewhere in September And the old man still remembers The way the light glowed golden in her hair Another day has come and gone, still the old man carries on His vigil of forty years and more She left one Thursday morning, when the day was newly dawning To buy a bright red ribbon at the store Where did she go? No one really knows But it was Somewhere in September And the old man still remembers The way the light glowed golden in her hair Starlight filled the desert night and mingled with his hair of white When an angel came to find him sleeping there Now there's nothing but an empty shack, with no door to hold the desert back Or stop the wind that rocks his empty chair Where did he go? I'll bet I know He's Somewhere in September, with the love that he remembered And I'll bet the light glows golden in her hair I'll bet the light glows golden in her hair
