Pale September, I wore the time like a dress that year
The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin
But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared
My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within
But then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full And sank in the burrows of my keep
(**) And all my armour falling down, in a pile at my feet
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
He goes along just as a water lily Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats
Unweighed down by passion or intensity Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts
And he finds a home in me For what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap

Fiona wrote the song for an ex-boyfriend of hers. Formerly, the guy dated Fiona's sister's best friend and lost his virginity in Fiona's bed to this girl. He didn't pay much attention to Fiona until much later. (songfacts)
