Lyrics

Song For November Dry the flowers, file the sheet-music Save me for the fire I spent the day forgetting The dream that woke me up The garden is empty And I still remember why I’m so reluctant to start it again Eternal November Shines through the marrow of me… I never was a very good fighter They started me young You always were the very best lover That I couldn’t love The years they will make you a pretty good runner Yeah I’ve been running around all of this time Shot in the dark, down in the shadows Waiting for when, yeah just waiting for when The coast is clear… [Bridge] You were running around trying to never remember this But it lives in the bones of you Now you’re hanging around like you might reconsider this Like there might be a chance for you. Blame me dear for any disaster Oh how the kerosene ran dry And we made our bed in that familiar graveyard Between the sternum and the spine Oh darling I think that all of the answers Went south on the backs of those grey winged birds Or slipped through our fingers while we were sleeping Waiting for when, yeah just waiting for when The coast is clear… Along the way the light is the medicine Along the way we search for the sun To call us down the dark corridor Back into the world….
