The Seasons of Man

They set the stage and gear the band 
For they are the seasons of man 

The Dawn of Spring
We dance until the sunlight 
Breaks the night away 
We float among the floodlights 
Till the dawning of the day 
Then we sing into the meadows 
The chords of our time 
Till we crash into our shadows 
And relate our perfect crime 

The Wind of Summer
The sun reflects the heat 
Our bodies generate 
We boil over when we meet 
Until we saturate 
We lie naked in the breeze 
To meet the rays of day 
The heat falls through the trees 
The light that paves our way 

The Fall of Autumn
We set sail across the lakes 
Cut through the gray of water 
The sky shouts, the thunder breaks 
You are the autumn's daughter 
You are fragile as the brown leaves 
Aligned there in the gutters 
Come in, let's light the fire please 
And board up all the shutters 

The White of Winter 
We skate through these days so slow 
Spending most our time indoors 
And when we're out there in the snow 
We don our scarfs and furs 
Inside we bundle up real close 
Underneath those cotton quilts 
And we sip champagne and make our toast 
And forget our fears and guilts
