A/N: Based on "Wake Me Up when September Ends" by Green Day. Many thanks to Ember Nickel for the idea for this. Florence's first birthday without Anatoly and also the anniversary of the Hungarian Uprising (October 23rd) I like to think of them as being on the same day since it seems to make some sort of weird sense.
WAKE ME UP WHEN OCTOBER ENDS
Broken
leaves are falling fast.
The
right and just can never last.
Wake
me up when October ends.
Like
my father's been and gone,
thirty
years can't be this long.
Wake
me up when October ends.
Here
comes a tear again,
although
it can't heal pain.
Drenched
in my fear again
of
an unending rain.
And
in time the faces fade,
but
never what they make me feel.
Wake
me up when October ends.
Broken
leaves are falling fast.
The
right and just can never last.
Wake
me up when October ends.
Bring
back those summer nights
when
You and I could touch the stars.
Wake
me up when October ends.
Here
comes a tear again,
although
it can't heal pain.
Drenched
in my fear again
of
an unending rain.
And
in time your face will fade,
but
never what love makes me feel.
Wake
me up when October ends.
As
I watched you falling fast,
I
knew your love could never last.
Wake
me up when October ends.
Like
my father's just a dream,
with
you gone, that's how you seem.
Wake
me up when October ends.
Wake me up when October ends.
