Seasons of the Heart Songtext

von Linton Kwesi Johnson

Beguiled by blue moon
Oh, enchanting light
We lost our way like lovers sometimes do
Searching, wide-eyed, for wild flowers
In the fragrant forest of the night

Now memories slowly drift on by
Like grey clouds against the somber Winter sky
And all our yesterdays are now become
The Springtime of our days

Life is the greatest teacher
Love is the lesson to be learned
Like how the heart's seasons shift
How the sweet smelling blossoms of Spring
Are soon become the icy arrows of Winter's sting

How Spring, intoxicated by the sun
Now throws off her green gown
And Summer's golden smile is soon become
The frown of Autumn's brown

How passions spent
We droop, like sapless vines
In the Winter of our minds
