[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.
