November Air Song Lyrics

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 and 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 Mama, how's it goin'?

Was the weather fair last week?

Dear Mama, they were wonderful

All the sights you'll never see

And dear Mama, 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 Mama, how's it goin'?

Was the weather fair last week?

Dear Mama, they were wonderful

All the sights you'll never see

And dear Mama, 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



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

And make you feel like you did

When all those cowboys did
