November Air

You remember sittin' there one rainy night in a well-used chair
 Tellin' me how well you used to dance
 The western wind will come again
 Make you feel like you did
 When all those cowboys didn't stand a chance
 Said his life took most of you
 Gave you twice and the day was through
 You said it all turned out awfully fair
 So tell me tales of all the times and all the seasons you got by
 Breathin' in that cold November air
 No one was there
 No one was there
 When no one was there
 Two kids 'bout 23 when the sun sets you'll never see
 You were yellin' "Supper" from the yard
 And they grew old and sailed away
 Call you on phones from far away
 Wrote you novels on postcards
 And all you ever wanted was to see your children fly
 Maybe one day they're stars
 But there ain't no leavin' this small town this evenin'
 You can't even drive your own car
 Through November air
 Through November air
 Through November air
 Dear Ma, how's it goin'?
 Was the weather fair last week?
 Dear Ma, they were wonderful
 All of the sights you'll never see
 And dear Ma, if I could hold you
 I'd grab you by the arms, tell you what it means
 You could take a worthless poor boy from the flats
 And make him mean something
 ♪
 Tell us what you wanted to, and all we did, we needed you
 Your dreams were too small to care
 But I'm always reminded, if you look hard you'll find it
 Memory gives warmth to right here
 Through November air
 Through November air
 Through November air
 Dear Ma, how's it goin'?
