It was a fine idea in autumn On the palest afternoons Parallelograms of sunshine fell across the room I woke up and it was winter With the rain across the roofs And the weather turned me into a bit of a recluse If I needed an excuse That mistake was mine to make, I know Even so Seasons come and seasons go I threw open both the windows With the coming of the spring There were weeks I didn't want for anything I guess I should have seen it coming But summer caught me unawares I found out there was a downside to the upstairs That mistake was mine to make, I know Even so Seasons come and seasons go Oh! the humidity Oh! the stupidity
