Late in the Afternoon

Late in the afternoon, October
 Lights be coming on soon
 Late in the afternoon, a little older
 Be turning the clocks back soon
 But you can't turn the clocks back, can you?
 I'm not a novelty
 You know every inch of me
 Please don't begin to doubt me
 Forget what you love about me
 Look out your high window, November
 A carpet of leaves below
 You never saw through me, remember
 And it wouldn't take that much
 For something to kick away this crutch
 I'm not a mystery
 You know everything about me
 I stand here every night
 In fluorescent bathroom light
 Every blemish, every scar
 You know how they got there
 And where they are
 So don't get bored anytime soon
 'Cause it's late
 It's late in the afternoon
