Might not be 100% but sounds alright if you’re doing it solo-acoustic. Any feedback welcome. Standard tuning Capo 2nd fret Verse 1: On certain Sundays in November when the weather bothers me I empty drawers of other summers where my shadows used to be And she is standing by the water as her smile begins to curl In this or any other summer she is something altogether different Never just an ordinary girl / Verse 2: And in the evenings on Long Island when the colours start to fade She wears a silly yellow hat that someone gave her when she stayed I didn’t think that she returned it we left New York in a whirl Time expands and then contracts when you are spinning in the grips of Someone who is not an ordinary girl Chorus: When you sleep you find your mother in the night But she stays just out of sight So there isn’t any sweetness in the dreaming And when you wake the morning covers you with light And it makes you feel alright But it’s just the same hard candy you’re remembering again Verse 3: You send your lover off to China then you wait for her to call You put your girl up on a pedestal then you wait for her to fall I put my summer’s back in a letter and I hide it from the world All the regrets you can’t forget are somehow pressed upon a picture In the face of such an ordinary girl Chorus: And when you sleep you find your mother in the night But she stays just out of sight So there isn’t any sweetness in the dreaming And when you wake the morning showers you with light And it makes you feel alright But it’s just the same hard candy you’re remembering again Again again again It’s just the same hard candy you’re remembering again Again again again And it’s just the same hard candy you’re remembering again Outro riff: F#-|-----0-----------0-----------0-----------0------| C#-|-------3-----------3-----------3-----------3----| E -|-0----------------------------------------------| B -|-------------4-----------3----------------------| F#-|-------------------------------------3----------| Dsus2 Dsus2/ Dsus2/ Dsus2/ Outro: (with riff) Go ask her to come around and see me late after dark Don’t ask me to come around then wait to see if there’s a spark Go ask her to come around and see me late after dark Don’t ask me to come around and make me wait to see the spark Go ask her to come around late and see me after dark Don’t ask me to come around and wait to see if there is a spark

Cette chanson évoque des souvenirs nostalgiques, notamment à travers des instants passés lors de certains dimanches de novembre, lorsque le temps froid incite à réfléchir sur le passé et les relations. Le protagoniste se remémore une personne qui, bien qu'ordinaire en apparence, a un impact profond sur sa vie émotionnelle. Les images des étés passés et des moments passés ensemble se mêlent à des sentiments de regret et d'attente, comme l'attente d'un appel d'une amante partie à l'étranger. Les rêves et les souvenirs se teintent de mélancolie, symbolisés par cette idée de bonbons durs : quelque chose de sucré, mais qui reste inaccessible et qui rappelle des moments imparfaits et perdus.
