about

This is a personification of the transition between Autumn and Winter as a sapphic romance and the only time they can meet is during this transition period.

lyrics

Winter wears a snowy veil
She wears it for display
And it snags upon the branches of the matchstick trees

Autumn dances the dance of joy
She’s hard to be ignored
‘Cause every move she makes tears off a thousand leaves

Ooh, ooh, they go again! Oh, yeah!
Ooh, there they go again! Again! Again!
Ooh, they reach again!
Ooh, they want to be in one another’s company

One is pale, cold to the touch
The other a golden brown
But I’ll tell you, their mischief is a beautiful thing
When there’s frost upon the fallen leaves
When you start to feel a little chill in the breeze
It’s the time for the lovers to meet

Ooh, ooh, they go again! Oh, yeah!
Ooh, there they go again! Again! Again!
Ooh, they reach again!
Ooh, they reach again! Again! Again!
Ooh, they want to be in one another’s company

Now it’s time to say goodbye
But not without a dance
Winter says I’ll think of you when creatures lie close for warmth
Autumn says I’ll think of you when they shiver in the cold
So spin me around in a snowdrift pirouette
A frozen kiss makes a perfect parting gift
Let’s make this goodbye last until we must part
