September in the Rain
Nancy LaMott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The leaves of brown
Came tumbling down
Remember,
In September, in the rain

The sun went out
Just like a dying amber
That September in the rain

To every word of love
I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play
Our sweet refrain
Though spring is here to me
It's still September
That September in the rain

To every word of love
I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play
Our sweet refrain
Though spring is here to me
It is still September
That September in the rain

That September




That brought the pain
That September in the rain

Overall Meaning

The song "September in the Rain" by Nancy LaMott is a melancholic reflection on a past love that took place during the month of September, when the leaves turned brown and the rain seemed to fall endlessly. The first verse sets the stage with the imagery of the falling brown leaves, and the memory of a love that was shared in the rain during that month. The second verse brings a sense of finality to the memory by comparing the fading of the sun to dying amber, and emphasizing the point that this was a love that had run its course and was now gone.


The chorus repeats the phrase "To every word of love I heard you whisper, the raindrops seemed to play our sweet refrain," emphasizing the romantic nature of the memory and lending a sense of nostalgia to the lyrics. The final verse and chorus both repeat the refrain that "Though spring is here to me, it's still September, that September in the rain," underscoring the fact that some memories are so vivid and powerful that they can never be entirely put to rest.


Overall, "September in the Rain" is a poignant homage to a time and a love that can no longer be revisited, but that remains indelibly etched on the singer's heart.


Line by Line Meaning

The leaves of brown
The dying leaves fell off the trees in autumn


Came tumbling down
Fell gently from the branches


Remember,
Recall a past moment


In September, in the rain
During a rainy month when the leaves fall


The sun went out
The sunset created a dark atmosphere


Just like a dying amber
The light disappeared like burning embers


That September in the rain
During that particular rainy month


To every word of love
In response to every expression of love


I heard you whisper
I listened closely to what you whispered


The raindrops seemed to play
The sound of the raindrops was like background music


Our sweet refrain
The melody of our love


Though spring is here to me
Despite the current season being spring


It's still September
I can't help but remember that month


That September in the rain
That particular period of sadness during a rainy month


That September
That specific time


That brought the pain
That triggered heartbreak
