This is the springtime of my loving- 
the second season I am to know 
You are the sunlight in my growing- 
so little warmth I felt before. 
It isn't hard to feel me glowing- 
I watched the fire that grew so low. 
It is the summer of my smiles- 
flee from me Keepers of the Gloom. 
Speak to me only with your eyes 
it is to you I give this tune. 
It isn't hard to recognise- 
these things are clear to all from 
time to time. 
 
Talk Talk- 
I felt the coldness of my winter 
I never thought it would ever go 
I cursed the gloom that set upon us 
but I know that I love you so 
but I know that I love you so. 
 
These are the seasons of emotion 
And like the winds they rise and fall 
This is the wonder of devotion- 
I see the torch we all must hold. 
This is the mystery of the quotient- 
Upon us all a little rain 
must fall.
