Pumpkin Eater

A 1954 Ford
Roars down the road
A 1963 rain
Pouring as it came
Uphill to the light
Makes a left and then a right
And maybe yet tonight there will be some time

An apple falling to the ground
Yellow by the sound
And by the sound down the road
I think it's he that goes
Uphill to the light
Makes a left and then a right
And maybe yet tonight there will be some time

Pumpkin eater
Just after July
Always comes home
In time for the pie

Pumpkin eater
Just after July
Always comes home
In time for the pie

Monday morning brings the light
Something isn't right
And running down she finds he's gone
She walks across the lawn
Climbs the apple tree
And watches as he leaves
In 1963 they had some time

Pumpkin eater
Just after July
Always comes home
In time for the pie

Pumpkin eater
Just after July
Always comes home
In time for the pie
