Fears be gone, it won't be long/ There's a light in the sky

Songs that feel like September, autumnal in mood or theme, and songs that feel like New York. The day is over on the East Coast. A new one begins. I like these lyrics by Big Star:

I can feel it now, it's time/ Open your eyes/ Fears be gone, it won't be long/ There's a light in the sky/ It's OK to look outside/ The day will abide/ And watch the sunrise
