Boys of Autumn

She's hangin' the clothes on the line
You're layin' by the river
You've still got them on your mind
It's makin' you shiver

The summer didn't last that long
'Cause now it's September
But you must remember
To leave the porch light on

Boys will be boys
But whatever happens to the boys of autumn
Boys will be boys
And you won't forget those boys of autumn

You painted the leaves in July
That's when you had a reason
Now you watch as they fall from the sky
They're touchin' down for the season

Deep inside you will always realize
What you saw was never in their eyes
But you can forgive
Those adolescent lies

And boys will be boys
But whatever happens to the boys of autumn
Boys will be boys
And you won't forget those boys of autumn

As you get a little older
It gets a little colder
But when the winter's over
They become the boys of summer again

She's hangin' the clothes on the line
You're layin' by the river
You've still got them on your mind
It's makin' you shiver

The summer didn't last that long
'Cause now it's September
But you must remember
To leave the porch light on

And boys will be boys
But whatever happens to the boys of autumn
Boys will be boys
And you won't forget those boys of autumn

And boys will be boys
But whatever happens to the boys of autumn
Boys will be boys
And you won't forget those boys of autumn
