November -- Emerson Drive


She was sitting on a park bench
Feeding pigeons on Beacon Hill
I was taking my dog Jack out for a run
We had time to kill
I still don't know if it was Jack or me
That somehow caught her eye
But the next thing I knew we were sitting there takling
Laughing into the night
And from that moment on
She never left my side
Thosr autumn nights were long
She was the first love of my life

I still can feel the softness of her hair
Falling on my face
My arms all around her
There's always something about this time of year
That takes me to that place
And I remember
Yes I remember
November
oh yeah

She was working her way through school
Wating tables at the Hungry Eye
I was playing a club down on the waterfront
Afterward she'd come by
Around 3am we'd grab some takeout
In the heart of Chinatown
And we'd hang out and stay up all night long
Just talking and messing around

I never would have dreamed
We'd ever say goodbye
She felt like the sun to me
On those cold November nights
Looking back I can't explain
What happened on that dark December day
I guess we were just two kids
Going different ways
