November Blues
[Verse 1]
Morning's breaking in again, if you can call it breaking at all
A bluish, gloomy shade of grey, where shadows don't even dare to fall
The rain is whipping on the glass, as if the sky is crying out
I really don't wanna get up, this heavy blanket pulls me down
[Chorus]
November blues has arrived, creeping deep into the bone
This endless kingdom of the dusk, no mercy in this twilight zone
The energy meter's running out, it's barely holding on to zero
And darkness, my familiar guest, is breathing down my neck like shadow
[Verse 2]
The days are stretching on and on, the evenings start at afternoon
The daily grind is just a fight, putting on wet clothes too soon
The tiredness is like a fog, blurring all my clearest thoughts
And every molehill is a mount, too high for me to walk across
[Chorus]
November blues has arrived, creeping deep into the bone
This endless kingdom of the dusk, no mercy in this twilight zone
The energy meter's running out, it's barely holding on to zero
And darkness, my familiar guest, is breathing down my neck like shadow
[Bridge]
But hiding in the kitchen space, a little salvation in the back
My reliable old friend, a light orange jar upon the rack
I'm fishing out a couple pills, promising a bit of light
I wash them down and start to feel, a tiny spark of hope ignite
[Chorus]
November blues has arrived, creeping deep into the bone
This endless kingdom of the dusk, no mercy in this twilight zone
The energy meter's running out, it's barely holding on to zero
And darkness, my familiar guest, is breathing down my neck like shadow
[Outro]
Tomorrow is another dark day, and I will face it all again
But I am ready for the fight, my orange jar will be my friend
I'll make it through, yeah I'll survive another heavy round
Just waiting for the spring to come, and warm up the frozen ground
