Janis Ian - A Song For All The Seasons Of Your Mind lyrics
Your rating:
Waterfalls cascading downa summer wind of golden brown The leaves are flying in the air and in the sky your tangled hair Petals wear on moonlit nights, they're all the same on sunbeam lights Watch the sky as it turns blue. Night is slow to rush on you a song for all the seasons of your mind Avalanches burying and all the doctors hurrying Mental institutions and the pain of retribution All the muddy ponds and dirty sewers feed your mind upon a skewer Put you up and pull you down. Rusty nails turn fingers brown A song for all the seasons of your mind Laughter flows among the trees. A golden green hilarity Your eyes are aching from the sun and though the evening's just begun you don't know why you're laughing so. There is no cause for it to show but just the same, fall to the floor of all the good times you recall A song for all the seasons of your mind Running through a blackened dream, waken with a nightmare scream See your clothing come alive. Earthquakes cause your mind to slide rubber swan Floating down an endless stream, forgetting mental poverty A song for all the seasons of your mind Happiness at loving one. Your game of grace for sad eyed swans and quietly beneath the tree , loving all his mystery The grass is still, it comes alive. Beneath your naked foot it writhes Feel the life within you grow like beauty on a newborn rose A song for all the reasons of your mind Emptiness at losing him. The memory of all you've been The grass is sharp to walk upon, the petals black, the trees are gone Like frightened dogs before the war, you dream you search for just one more as one becomes another one , you wonder where the day has gone A song for all the seasons of your mind On the silent evening breeze , knowledge comes so quietly Clear blue water from above, an avalanche can teach you love The leaves that swirl about your eyes may wear an unforeseen disguise But when your clothing comes alive, you can be sure it's you inside a song for all the seasons of your mind
