Seasons End

(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)



O come, o come, emmanuel

And ransom captive israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the son of god appears



Getting close to seasons end

I heard somebody say

That it might never snow again

In england



Snow flakes in a newborn fist

Sledging on a hill

Are these things we'll never see

In england



We'll tell our children's children why

We grew so tall and reached so high

We left our footprints in the earth

And punched a hole right through the sky



We'll tell them how we changed the world

And how we tamed the sea

And seasons they'll never know

In england



So watch the old world melt away

A loss regrets could never mend

You never miss it till it's gone

So say goodbye

Say goodbye



We'll tell our children's children why

We grew so tall and reached so high

You never miss it till it's gone

So say goodbye

Say goodbye

To seasons end



So watch the old world melt away

A loss regrets could never mend

You never miss it till it's gone

So say goodbye

Say goodbye
