Northfield Minnesota frost upon the plowThe barley and the soybeans are at the feed lot nowLeaves as dry as paper crumble neath my treadColors of October like memories of the deadAnd the last time I saw autumn's fire was a thousand years agoI put my faith in autumn -- seasons come seasons goAnd every sign of autumn now is bound to make me blueThe last time I had autumn I had youThe last time I had autumn I had youThe crooked streets of Cambridge are skirted now with snowThere's a bookstore crammed with browsers every twenty yards or soAnd one night last December I searched each one high and lowTo find the gift you wanted that only I would knowAnd the last time I felt winter's blast was a thousand years agoI put my faith in winter -- seasons come seasons goAnd every gust of winter now is bound to make me blueThe last time I had winter I had youHow many times must I pull the car to the shoulderJust to cry by the side of the roadHow many times must I reach and grasp at nothingBefore I can let you goSongtexteIn the hills above Las Cruces forget-me-nots have bloomedI walk the ridge till sundown and whistle a lover's tuneThey've put me in the same old bed and the people here are kindI get the urge to call you and put it from my mindFor the last time I breathed springtime air was a thousand years agoI put my faith in springtime -- seasons come seasons goAnd every breath of spring now is bound to make me blueThe last time I had springtime I had youThe last time I had springtime I had you Aus Songtexte Mania
