From our table to yours...a piece for the holiday that is bound to become part of everyone's tradition.

lyrics

Can’t sing along, cuz there’s no Thanksgiving song
Pieces of April, now scattered round the table
How many more, that’s what this day is for
Take the tin foil from the tray, set silverware and plates
Paper napkins from the drawer
Too gold to stay too long… that’s why there’s

Cheap beer and football, sweet wine and pratfalls
Careful when you go to plate, the cranberries should keep the shape
Of the can, our silly yearly plan
Makes us laugh until we shake, what little sense it makes
To save the expiration date
Too gold to stay too long…. that’s why there’s no Thanksgiving song

I sneak upstairs, the family unaware
And looking through the window, I see the grass still visible
Through the snow, and from the floor below
Familiar sounds of washing pans, the work of wrinkled hands
And thoughts of long ago
Too gold to stay too long… that’s why there’s

No Thanksgiving song, nothing to sing along
Pieces of April, now scattered round the table
How many more, that’s what this day is for
Take the tin foil from the tray, set silverware and plates
Paper napkins from the drawer
Too gold to stay too long… that’s why there’s

No Thanksgiving song, nothing to sing along, nothing to sing along…
