In August

In August, I couldn't help but notice
A fading of the kindness
You'd offered once with ease

September, you nearly lost your temper
A terrible pretender
I knew at once, you wanted nothing more to do with me

Would you stay until the winter's gone?
The sun is setting early, so pretend that you still want me
Keep the warmth between our bodies
'Til the spring, then let me go

October, you finally said we're over
But as the days grew colder
You called to ask, "What's new?"

November, you told me, "I surrender"
And so we'll stay together
It's easier to hold your tongue than face the cold alone

Would you stay until the winter's gone?
The sun is setting early, so pretend that you still want me
Keep the warmth between our bodies
'Til the spring, then let me go

Would you stay until the winter's gone?
The sun is setting early, so pretend that you still want me
Keep the warmth between our bodies
'Til the spring, then let me go

In summer, I'll find myself another
And hope that I can love her
'Til winter comes again
