Letra de 'October' de Jonas Alaska

On a day just like this on the ocean four years ago now
The wind was too strong, the waves were too big
Three young men were thrown off the boat
And I was at home, they were fighting towards mother earth
And two of them died only twenty years after their birth
In October

And the last of the three was left hopelessly crying for help
The wind was screaming but the silence was stronger as he stood with his feet in the kelp
The sun was still up but it was night time when I heard who died
I only knew Eric cause one time he gave me a ride
In October

Now I didn't know him well but I liked him
He was one of those guys that everyone knew either liked him or not cause there were
no sign of lies in his eyes
I was seventeen years old the last time he spoke to me
Now I'm twenty-one and I'm older than he'll ever be
In October

My father is his mother's cousin so that makes us kin
I remember those family dinners and the old people's funerals again and again
So strange looking round in the crowd when he wouldn't be found
Oh the look on the face of his brother when they lowered him down
In October

October is the best, turns roads into beautiful trails
The rime on the windows, the leaves on your coat, the frost on the cars and the rails
Still out on the ocean those memories are bringing me down
But I've heard there's a symphony playing you to sleep when you drown
October
