| [00:34.690] |
Cold November’s covered me |
| [00:42.960] |
with her dark and dripping wings, |
| [00:49.410] |
carried me from cheer and light— |
| [00:58.160] |
out of mind and out of sight. |
| [01:08.660] |
Cold November’s buried me |
| [01:16.500] |
under heaps of rotting leaves, |
| [01:21.890] |
soaked through with rain and choked by grief. |
| [01:29.380] |
Oh November, honestly. |
| [01:34.550] |
She came upon me in the park, |
| [01:42.740] |
chased me homeward through the dark. |
| [01:50.280] |
Then she squeezed her talons tight |
| [01:55.960] |
and took me helpless into night. |
| [02:04.110] |
She has her own song to sing |
| [02:11.410] |
and she demands to finish it, |
| [02:18.560] |
raises her slick and glistening beak |
| [02:26.690] |
and crows to those who can’t resist. |
| [02:38.180] |
Oh November, I was once… |
| [02:45.940] |
Did you know me when I was? |
| [02:51.340] |
Well, I don’t remember now |
| [02:58.180] |
since November drowned me out. |
| [03:04.740] |
But I just felt the summer’s heat |
| [03:12.170] |
and tasted the tomato’s meat |
| [03:18.460] |
and took the socks off of my feet |
| [03:24.740] |
when she came to gather me. |
| [03:35.030] |
Oh… |
| [04:18.730] |
I am one who flies with you. |
| [04:26.720] |
I’ve forgotten all I knew. |
| [04:33.420] |
I must belong to the moonless night. |
| [04:42.010] |
Oh November, you were right. |
