September Song
Love's Timeless Dance: A Tale of Seasons and Romance
Lyrics
When I was a young man courting the girls
Reflecting on youth and courtship experiences.
I played me a waiting game
Played a patient game in pursuing romantic interests.
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
Describing rejection by a girl with playful curls.
I'd let the old Earth make a couple of whirls
Allowing time to pass and the world to turn before trying again.
While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls
Offering emotions (tears) instead of material gifts.
And as time came around she came my way
Over time, the person of interest reciprocated.
As time came around, she came
Reiterating the positive turn of events with time.
When you meet with the young girls early in the Spring
Advice on courting young girls in spring.
You court them in song and rhyme
Courting through music and poetry.
They answer with words and a clover ring
Girls respond with words and a symbolic clover ring.
But if you could examine the goods they bring
Suggesting that material offerings may be superficial.
They have little to offer but the songs they sing
Pointing out the limited substance in what they bring.
And the plentiful waste of time of day
Highlighting the perceived waste of time in these interactions.
A plentiful waste of time
Repeating the notion of a wasteful use of time.
Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December
Expressing the long duration between May and December.
But the days grow short when you reach September
Days seem shorter as one ages, especially in September.
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
Describing the changing autumn weather and its impact.
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
Emphasizing the lack of time for prolonged waiting.
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
Highlighting the dwindling days as the year progresses.
September, November
Specifically mentioning the months September and November.
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
Expressing the intention to spend the remaining days with a loved one.
These precious days I'll spend with you
Repeating the commitment to spend precious days together.
