about

The Buddhists have an old saying: "There's only one first time."

lyrics

AUSTIN
I thought about you just today
And how you used to say
“Baby, try to keep the faith,”
But faith was never my strong suit,
In fact to tell the truth,
I never had what real love takes,
But there was that one time old friend,
I’d like to think you still remember when

Every star burned brighter
Every load felt lighter
Every day was full of sun
When you were the only one
First fire of the season/ Lying on the floor and teasin’
Late September, Austin was a ball/ Before the fall.

I guess its true that nothing lasts
Yeah, don’t it go by fast,
That fire burned out long ago,
It still amazes me to find
after all this time
How warm these embers glow,
Every time I hear your name
What comes back to me is always the same:

Every star burned brighter
Every load felt lighter
Every day was full of sun
When you were the only one
Makin’ love was never better/ Makin’ plans for forever,
Late September, Austin was a ball, Before the fall

Lovers have come and gone since then,
That kind of love has never come my way again,
Do you remember Austin at all?
