  • 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 Writer/s: TRACEY THORN
