I feel that last warm trickle, and I feel that last warm breeze. Its crawls across my skin And it runs through my veins. The last of Summer kisses the land. No more trips to be had As we watch the colors fade, My Winter is now at hand.
What was once sun-kissed burned Has now gone cold, And what once bloomed Summer foliage full Is now Winter's fare skeletal.
Mother Mary comes, Mother Mary Springs in time, But in Mother Mary comes time, Because it's frosty Father Time That allows Spring to blossom in her, Time, Time and Time again, Year in and year out, he is spent.
So as Spring comes, so do I, Doing my best to beware of Father Time, Watching the colors bloom to Summer's trip With the bee's sting to inject sweet toxicity, Freed from this state of mind again Until I feel the next Summer Ending's breeze.
