Every fall when the leaves are turning

This tingling inside me will start

It’s merely a longing a yearning

A sweet kind of pain in my heart

Come November days will get murky

But as the skies go losing their light

I envision my vegan roast turkey

My dearest of friends all around so tonight

I’m coming out for the whole world to see

I’m revealing my motive to be

I confess to my reason for living

Thanksgiving, thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, thanksgiving

Way in advance I picture the table

The linnen, the silver, the candles, the wine

It’s a fantasy it’s a fable

If just for the dishes their taste so divine

The carrots tahini, the roasted tomatoes

The sautéed zucchini, the baked beans, oh my!

The maple glazed mushrooms, the mashed sweet potatoes

The corn and the greens, it all makes it why

I’m coming out for the whole world to see

I’m revealing my motive to be

I confess to my reason for living

Thanksgiving, thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, thanksgiving

I’m coming out for the whole world to see

I’m revealing my motive to be

I confess to my reason for living

Thanksgiving, thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, thanksgiving!
