There’s something ‘bout November gray
Weeping where we laughed yesterday
That calls to mind the rush of Time
And aches to be preserved in rhyme
And something ‘bout November gray
Brings thoughts of loved ones far away
Then, in its cold rain reverie
We pour a second cup of tea
There’s something ‘bout November gray
Where in contrast, vast woodlands splay
Their tiralee beneath our feet
In gold and russet bittersweet
There’s something ‘bout November gray
That steals my very breath away
It spins a soulful poetry
That middle-May could never be
Yes, something ‘bout November gray
Is lovely in a lonesome way
It runs in rivers to our door
And makes us need each other more

I had Celtic Thunder cranked up when Victoria came home from school. In response to her quizzical raise of the eye-brow I told her its Celtic Thunder weather;-)
I LOVE November gray. Didn't used to but there is something that draws me to this wilder, bleaker, barer side of nature.
