about

I wrote this song on my bed, looking out the window at a tree losing its leaves. This song is dedicated to my older sister, Sarah Rose, who helped bring this song to life, who sang with me through the winter months, and who might someday find god if she was given some free pizza.

lyrics

Autumn brings us closer
To a lonesome friend
Feel the weight of winter
Coming round the bend

Last year I could make it
Hanging in my bed
This year I will take it
Hanging by a thread

And if it were to cross your mind
An open fire you’d like to find
You know

That I will make mine in this room
With pieces of the winter gloom
You know

Holy days of Tishrei
Remind me I should pray
For some kind of meaning
To stop and come my way

Wasn’t in the temple
Wasn’t with the wise
Wasn’t in the hospital
So maybe in your eyes

And if it were to cross your mind
An open fire you’d like to find
You know

That I will make mine in this room
With fragments of the afternoon
You know

On days when I feel lonely
I wonder what was done
for Shmuel of 1800
Who lost it with the sun

If he asked the rabbi
What is it that he said
We need you for a minion
Get your tukhus out of bed

And if it were to cross your mind
An open fire you’d like to find
You know

That I will make mine in this room
With pieces of the winter gloom
You know

Autumn brings us closer
To a lonesome friend
Feel the weight of winter
Coming round the bend

Last year I could make it
Hanging in my bed
This year I will take it
Hanging by a thread
