lyrics

Just like a winter has my absence been from you, the pleasure of my year.
And so cold, I have felt, such dark days, I have seen… December everywhere.

Winter everywhere.

And yet this time apart was summer time, I didn’t notice the sun
And yet this time apart was summer time, months come and they’re gone
And yet this time apart was summer time.

How like a twilight has my absence been from you, the dawning of my day.
And so dark, I have felt, such cold nights, I have seen and I see December everywhere.

Winter everywhere.

And yet this time apart was summer time, as the waters came in
And yet this time apart was summer time, shall we sink or we swim?
And yet this time apart was summer time.

My summer pleasures depend on
Your presence to bring the bird song
They call out with such a dull cheer
Pale leaves dreading the winter near
My summer pleasures depend on
Your presence to bring the bird song
They out call with such a dull cheer
When you’re gone

Chorus
And yet this time apart was summer time, with no chance to play
And yet this time apart was summer time, I didn’t notice the day
And yet this time apart was summer time, now you’re here,
We can start again, restart the year
‘Cause all my time with you is summer time.
