Pumpkin Eater

(Album: Seasons In The Sun - 1974)

A 1954 Ford roars down the road
A 1963 rain pouring as it came
Uphill to the right
Makes a left turn then a right
And maybe yet tonight there will be some time

An apple falling to the ground
Yellowed by the sound
And by the sound down the road
I think it he that goes
Uphill to the light
Makes a left turn 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
Finds the apple tree
And watches as he leaves
In 1963 as in time

Pumpkin eater Just after July
Always come home in time for the pie
Pumpkin eater just after July
Always come home in time for the pie
