Hand in hand we've watched the autumn fires burn
Winter's love once again unrequited
Summer's dreams collapsing, chestnuts in need of gathering
Winter's love once again unrequited
To tell us that our love has again found the sun"
Dry leaves cracking beneath our feet
He says, "No, wide awake and thinking
He takes his hand to her cheek now
Sent as a judgment for a slight long past forgotten
Of a dream I just had about the two of us"
We'll bow to her beauty cower from her fury
She says, "Babe are you sleeping?"
Lone oak stands tall, bare arms scratch the sky
The whole world lies rotting in the street
You can stay in my arms until the springtime comes
We'll let the snow drift around us
And soon we will walk with collars high
His lips to her brow their whispers pile softly
And wait for the robin and the crocus
Like ramparts raised for the siege
