How would I leave you?
How would I leave you
In the summer?
The golden light, warm desert winds
Thunderstorms, downpourings
Beachside visits, the ocean rolls
On endlessly
It pulses on that sand of gold
How shall I leave you
In the summer
With the sunshine?
How would I leave you?
How would I leave you
In the fall?
The golden leaves are falling down
Wind making eddies
Spinning them around and around
The squirrels hiding all their big cones away
What if I leave you
In the autumn
With the colours?
How would I leave you?
How would I leave you
In the winter?
The icy winds blowing gale
Sun moves low across the dale
With the heater on
And your wooly clothes
What if I leave you
In the winter
With the darkness all consuming?
How would I leave you?
How would I leave you
In springtime?
With the birds and bees
In the flower and trees
Lambs and calves
Their mothers knee
The grass all green, the sky gone blue
Life's great circle once more renewed
How shall I leave you
In springtime
With the flowers blooming?
