lyrics

The tall trees are already barren
Their dead leaves are gone from the ground
I think of this land in the promise of springtime
Though next time, we won't be around

We know very well that it's ended
Just hard to accept that it's true
To wish it all different won't change where we're headed
It won't fix what we're going through

A solstice has found us
A hard chill is growing
But look out the window and you'll see a ray
With all of the cruel of the season awaiting
The sun's veering back
The sun's turning back
The sun's coming back every day

So this is goodbye to the good times
And this is goodbye to the fight
We tried very hard, but it won't go no further
Can’t feel this wrong and be right

But some day I bet we'll be back here
And maybe I'll see you again
All of this talk now - what's won and what's
wasted
We'll have the answers by then

A solstice has found us
The hard chill is growing
But look out the window and you'll see a ray
With all of the cruel of the season awaiting

A solstice has found us
A hard chill is growing
But look out the window and you'll see a ray
With all of the cruel of the season awaiting
The sun's veering back
The sun's turning back
The sun's coming back every day

The sun's veering back
The sun's turning back
The sun's coming back every day
