lyrics

November, there's a chill in the air,
Take me back to a place I know where
The leaves turn to color before they go brown
The air is so quiet you hear them fall down
It isn't so far from this dirty old town and its cries -
As the crow flies.

Remember, all the friends left behind,
They're right here in this scrapbook of mine.
Pictures of children at play on the lawn,
Some of them stayed and others moved on,
Soon they'll have children all grown up and gone from their eyes -
As the crow flies.

Time, like the crow, only flies forward,
Circles around but it always moves on.
Time is a thief, and given the chance would
Steal all the things that you love.

November, feel the winter come on,
Take me back, 'fore the chance is all gone -
Back to the best things in life I call mine,
To strengthen the bonds that have weakened with time,
To look back and laugh as I grow older and wise -
As the crow flies.
