Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell, rising and falling like rhapsody

And I see winter's broken like lace, in time for a celebration



Thaw wails inside the walls and laughs in the corners, delighting in its evident victory

Till I feel springtime counting its days of flaunting a novel sensation



Like it's leaving, leaving behind the weight vying for yesteryear

Leaving promises in its wake, whispering, my love, you're still here



Hold on to your memories of sundogs and rainbows, as time writes a premature eulogy

And I feel summertime passing in haste, like running out of patience



Quilted with knit and umbrellas and scarfs and a mild understanding of irony

I feel autumn leaving the race, all done with the exhilaration



It's leaving, leaving behind the weight vying for yesteryear

Leaving promises in its wake, whispering, my love, you're still here



Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell, rising and falling in harmony

And I feel winter stealing my days, to herald another creation
