lyrics

A Song To The Seasons
 
I remember it was springtime we were all lost in the flood
The lights went out the panic came the streets were drenched in mud
I was standing by the window with my brother wond’ring why
For him here’s a Song to the Seasons
 
We were thrashed into the summer where the sun was rimmed with frost
The air was cold the days were dark the holidays all lost
And me and my brother were getting sick of all the flies
For him here’s a Song to the Seasons
 
Surely dear old autumn came it was boring just like hell
Ghosts rushed in and took us right to the wishing well
Where our last hard-earned penny went straight into the mud
For just another change of the season
 
Winter kept us waiting in the end we heard its cry
With full force it came on the land a cruel strong passer-by
My brother kept on running but in the end he lost the race
For him here’s a Song to the Seasons
 
Now the years they're going on and on but the song remains the same
People they fell victim to the never-ending claim
Of rain, of storm of frost and snow 'til the cycle starts again
For you here’s a Song to the Seasons
Cause life goes on and on
For you here’s a Song to the Seasons
Cause life goes on and on
While we wait for another dawn
