Here ya go, Julie -
Another November
Copyright 2004 Narciso Lobo
A ways back I lost track of the sidewalk
Ain’t nobody’s fault but my own
The dogs are barking at me
It’s starting to get dark and I can’t see
How I’m getting home
I’d best just rest my legs for a minute
Wipe these tears from my eyes
Oh god, my heart is breaking
This part of the martyr’s taking
Too long to die
Oh Lord, get me through another November
Keep me strong, but keep me kind
Oh Lord, keep my heart and my leather together
Keep me warm ‘til wintertime
I’ll weave these leaves into a blanket
Sleep beneath this half naked tree
I’ll dream of Christmas time
And kiss my princess and watch her climb
Right onto my knee
My sweet little Sky, how I miss you
Every Summer sun and Autumn moon
God, tell my darling daughter
I’m not far, and I’ve not forgotten her
Daddy’s coming soon
Oh Lord, get me through another November
Keep me strong, but keep me kind
Oh Lord, keep my heart and my leather together
Keep me warm ‘til wintertime

Okay - this particular rhyme scheme:
"Oh god, my heart is breaking
This part of the martyr’s taking
Too long to die"
...where the rhyme occurs before the end of the line - What is that called ? (Paging Julie or other English majors to thread.)
Oh sure, I could google it - but what fun is that?
:>)
Internal rhyme.
