Travis Dow: The Songs

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

This one started with that fancy arpeggio progression on the guitar. Pretty much impossible not to hear lyrics in the air when hearing that music. In this case I was reminded of slowly falling snow, which brought me to November, which led me to those times when you think of what might have been.

Lyrics:

The second Sunday in November was the day that we met

I’ve been tryin’ to remember some things I should forget

I’ve been fallin for a girl I knew, a long, long time ago

Will she get me through December this year, or will I have to let her go


Though she’s disappeared from my life, I still fight the urge to call

Just when I thought I was free, just when I thought I was free

It was freefall

I told her someday you’ll forget me and you’ll get by on your own

But don’t forget the late nights and the silence on the phone

There’ll come a time when you won’t let me in your heart and I’ll be gone

But you know there must be a reason when you start to cry

Remember it’s the season when you start to wonder why


The second Sunday in November I would freely live again

Even lost in this December of what could have never been

Forever grateful for the truth I learned a long, long time ago

It can last a Sunday or a second and still be the truest love you’ll ever know
