Hello forum friends. Listening to some great stuff on the forum!! I've spent too much time away, but always love coming back. Thanks so much for all the kind comments on my last post! I always read them all, but don't like to push my song to the top if I'm gone for several days or a week. Just know they are very much appreciated. This is a song I got the idea for when I was briefly in Seattle in Sept. of '21. I just like the way the title rolled off the tongue. Hope you enjoy. Would love to know what you think! Take care. Greg

September in Seattle

September in Seattle
And the skies are turning gray
I feel the autumn rainstorms commin’
I know they’re on their way
And your probably on a beach somewhere
In LA doing fine
And I’m the furthest thing now from your mind
Left behind

October in Seattle
Still not quite feelin’ like myself
Halloween is coming
Stores have costumes on the shelves
And I think about your sister April’s party
Where we met
Just one more thing I’m trying to forget

And I know it’s way past time now
I should be movin’ on
Find away to just accept somehow
Admit you’re really gone
Just face the truth
I know I lost the battle
In September in Seattle

December in Seattle
And the cold cuts to the bone
And I’m haunted by the thought
Of spendin’ Christmas Eve alone
And I’m feeling like these blues
Are never gonna disappear
Maybe next year

But for now I’m feeling beat
Can’t help feelin’ mired in defeat
My spirit is embittered and embattled
In December
December in Seattle

And I hope that you’re OK
The sun’s still shining in LA
But it’s rainin’ in Seattle
