Charlotte Street - A.Forrest

It’s snowing over Charlotte Street an
Steptoe’s settled down
and the stars are frozen solid
and the streets don’t make a sound
and I’ll smile just like Dylan,
if you’ll melt like Sarah Lowndes
oh if I survive November
I’ll be the only thing left, in this town

October spent so effortless,
it couldn’t leave without a sound
so it blew out like an easterly
on the last flight headin’ south
and I can’t cure these calloused hands or
curse your lonely mouth
I’m just tryin’ to survive November,
I’m just tryin’ not to let myself down

mornin breaks on Maple Street,
ya gotta keep those curtains closed
well these sidewalks still remember,
and these streets won’t let you go
the bricks stare back with crooked teeth,
my coffee’s gettin hard to hold
Oh if I survive November,
just let me know when you wanna know

It’s snowin’ over Charlotte Street,
and Steptoe’s settled down
and I can barely make out Kamiak
in her white winter wedding gown
& there’s not much changed in paradise,
so how’s your Puget sound?
I’m nearly through November,
but I ain’t sayin you should wait around
