Belonging to October

Lyrics

In the sunlight belonging to October In bed, I awaken to the sweet scent Of last night's pleasure, belonging to us And the phone rings I hear the voices of two times ten And while gently staring at the congenial stains The machine runs off numbers and names- The over-worked boss reminding me to be on time The friendly social worker with family on the line The run away brother with no home to go to And the rent bill, the dentist bill And the everybody-else-bill-who-wants-something-more-than-I-already-owe-for too It's in this sunlight, belonging to October Where I click the machine off and make this a day off Where I rest in morning memory, under the sheets We sleep upon during last night's play And though they're taking me to the cleaners Everything is okay For I've got you, who loves me
