Suddenly it's dawned on me that it's time for me to go
Spinning wheels and nothing feels quite like the first snow
And I fell in love with all my heart but I cannot stay
Cause everybody's contemplating putting love on layaway
And I try to stay on but it just ain't right
The chill in the bone and oh, the dying light!
Summer cheats and gives off heat while the plants are in a row
Thunderstorms and romance forms while rivers start to flow
And carry all our swollen dreams so far away
Now everybody's hibernating, confused and dazed
And I try to stay on but it just ain't right
The chill in the bone and oh, the dying light!
Maybe I will come back again when the white is gone
And you my friend are standing like a flower in the sun
Your petal's all undone
There's nothing like the smell when springtime comes
Halloween it always seems like it's trying to break you in
Have some fun cause summer's done and winter's moving in
And all the trees have shed their leaves now it's underway
Local news says you lose cause it's gonna come on Saturday
And I try to stay on but it just ain't right
The chill in the bone and oh, the dying light!
City lakes they speculate when the ice will lock us in
Seems like not so long ago when I held you by your fins
Maybe it's a good thing if we hesitate
We can meet on any street as long as it's some time in May
And I try to stay on but it just ain't right
The chill in the bone and oh, the dying light!
Maybe I will come back again when the white is gone
And you my friend are standing like a flower in the sun
Your petal's all undone
There's nothing like the smell when springtime comes
