lyrics: J. Morse © 1986 Resting amid the ruins of the year Hearts are cold, wreathed in solitude Hiding beneath the sheets of frost Life begins anew, but we all pay the price Up and down, circling around We walk the streets Lonely in the blackness of the night Start to end, then back around again Seasons will pass As sure as dark gives way to light Climbing through the stings of frozen fog First signs of life, then it all goes down the drain The ice melts away, along with frozen souls And then we begin again at the start The thaw is strong enough to burn away The pain of another incarnation The sun beats down upon you as you stand upon the hill Throw away your pride Up and down, circling around We walk the streets Lonely in the blackness of the night Start to end, then back around again Seasons will pass As sure as dark gives way to light As the sun descends to the horizon in the south Day fades away without a warning, moon drifting by Ever changing colors turn from green to gold and red The air is getting colder, and the cycle starts again But the seas will move around and round Currents back to where they began And, in a little time Spring will pass this way again Up and down, circling around We walk the streets Lonely in the blackness of the night Start to end, then back around again Seasons will pass As sure as dark gives way to light |
