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
