John Craigie
Boston in November
[Verse 1]
I’m far away from the sun tonight, far away from the rain
Far away from the festivals and the fourth of July parade
I can’t help but wonder, when we said goodbye
If there wasn’t something else there hanging in your eyes
[Chorus]
So tell me where will you go when the leaves fall
Who will lay down by your side
You and I could sing as the whole world sleeps
Boston in November, that’s where I’ll be
[Verse 2]
I wonder what your hair looks like in the fall
I wonder if your skin gets light or if it doesn’t change at all
Through all of my stuttering and all of my awkwardness
Through all of everything all I really wanted to ask
[Chorus]
Was where will you go when the leaves fall
Who will warm your pretty hands
I could make you laugh as the world gets sad
Boston in November, meet me if you can
[Verse 3]
I know you’re out there tonight drinking under the moon
I know you think of me when the poppies are in bloom
But when they drop their wings and you could feel the autumn wind
Darling just look out east see the fire in the distance
[Chorus]
And tell me where will you go when the leaves fall
Who will sing you to sleep
I could hold you through the snow, in the spring I could let you go
Boston in November, don’t make me do it alone
