Intro & And to Each Season Songtext
And to each season something is special
Lilac, red rose or the white willow
Young men of fortune, old men forgotten
Green buds renewing, the brown leaves dead and gone
Spring and the lilacs, pale white and lavender
Fill up the room of my gone mother
And when the cat springs onto the window ledge
His only greeting is the silence and the rain
Deep down in autumn all of the brown leaves
Fall on the garden and cover up the lawn
Let us remember each year in turn then
When there was sun enough to cover up the wrong
Roses in summer climb up the stone wall
Playing with sunlight and the morning shadows
Petals as firm as the young men striding
Pants filled with love, hearts filled with longing
Welcome the winter, robed in its whiteness
Bending down the willows with its snow blanket
And the wild berries hidden in the wood now
From all the creatures lost in the darkness
Welcome the winter, robed in its whiteness
Bending down the willows with its snow blanket
And all the wild berries hidden in the wood now
From the creatures lost in the darkness
Old men forgotten leave to me something
For I′ve no family now but that of man
Tell all the young men passing in the lanes now
Soon I'll be coming down to take my place with them
And to each season something is special
Lilac, red rose or the white willow
Lilac, red rose or the white willow
Young men of fortune, old men forgotten
Green buds renewing, the brown leaves dead and gone
Spring and the lilacs, pale white and lavender
Fill up the room of my gone mother
And when the cat springs onto the window ledge
His only greeting is the silence and the rain
Deep down in autumn all of the brown leaves
Fall on the garden and cover up the lawn
Let us remember each year in turn then
When there was sun enough to cover up the wrong
Roses in summer climb up the stone wall
Playing with sunlight and the morning shadows
Petals as firm as the young men striding
Pants filled with love, hearts filled with longing
Welcome the winter, robed in its whiteness
Bending down the willows with its snow blanket
And the wild berries hidden in the wood now
From all the creatures lost in the darkness
Welcome the winter, robed in its whiteness
Bending down the willows with its snow blanket
And all the wild berries hidden in the wood now
From the creatures lost in the darkness
Old men forgotten leave to me something
For I′ve no family now but that of man
Tell all the young men passing in the lanes now
Soon I'll be coming down to take my place with them
And to each season something is special
Lilac, red rose or the white willow
