november baby

this skin hangs on me like a lampshade

keeping all my light at bay

that night i banged at winter's doorstep

for just a look at your face

let me in

i said

i know someone inside

i just haven't met them yet

november

please don't make me beg

your big sad eyes

your crooked smile

your capped teeth

your widow's peak

oh

my november baby

now everywhere i go

i see you

when i walk and when i sleep

i hear you on the tongues of strangers

i hang on every word they speak

i try to be just where you are

but summer takes you far from me

so just for now i place an angel

atop an early christmas tree

your big sad eyes

your crooked smile

your capped teeth

your widow's peak

oh

my november baby

oh

my november baby

your big sad eyes

your crooked smile

your capped teeth

your widow's peak

oh

my november baby

oh

my november baby
