November Skies

Intro: Across the road, down at the bottom of the field There's a rusty tractor, used to read “John Deere” It's been there since my daddy's daddy was a boy The engine quit and there she sits, like an old forgotten toy Further on down where the white birches grow Grandpa used to take me for his favourite evening show He said he liked to watch the leaves fall from the trees I kinda think he just liked being with me Bridge: I used to think that time was something that never changed I used to think that life was always easy Now I know that seasons change and so must I And I've grown to love November skies November skies, smile down on me Let the winds of change come set me free November skies, try to ease my tired mind But I know that the winter winds aren't far behind I used to tag along while Grandpa did his chores I still remember wrestling with that squeaky old barn door Seems I'd always end up getting in his way He'd just shake his head and smile and he always let me stay Bridge: I used to think that time was something that never changed I used to think that life was always easy Now I know that seasons change and so must I And I've grown to love November skies November skies, smile down on me Let the winds of change come set me free November skies, try to ease my tired mind But I know that the winter winds aren't far behind Yes, I know that the winter winds aren't far behind
