A Song For All The Seasons Of Your Mind

Janis Ian

[Verse 1]
Waterfalls cascading down
A summer wind of golden brown
Leaves are flying in the air
And in the sky your tangled hair
Never worry, lovin' life
They're all the same on sunbeam rights
Watch the sky as it turns blue
Night is slow to rush on you
A song for all the seasons of your mind

[Bridge 1]
Avalanches burying
And all the doctors hurrying
Mental institutions
And the rain of retribution
All the muddy ponds and dirty sewers
Feed your mind upon a skewer
Put you up and pull you down
Rusty nails turn fingers brown
A song for all the seasons of your mind

[Verse 2]
Laughter flows among the trees
A golden green hilarity
Your eyes are aching from the fun
And though the evening's just begun
You don't know why you're laughing so
There is no cause for it to show
But just the same, fall to the floor
Of all the good times you recall
A song for all the seasons of your mind

[Bridge 2]
Running through a blackened dream
Waken with a nightmare scream
See your clothing come alive
Earthquakes cause your mind to slide
Try to find where peace is gone
Like turning live a rubber swan
Floating down an endless stream
Forgetting mental poverty
A song for all the seasons of your mind

[Verse 3]
Happiness at loving one
Your gain the grace of sad eyed swans
And quietly beneath the tree
Loving all his mystery
The grass is still, it comes alive
Beneath your naked foot it writhes
Feel the life within you grow
Like beauty on a newborn rose
A song for all the reasons of your mind

[Bridge 3]
Emptiness at losing him
The memory of all your sin
The grass is sharp to walk upon
The meadow's black, the trees are gone
Like frightened dogs before the war
You vainly search for just one more
As one becomes another one
You wonder where the day has gone
A song for all the seasons of your mind

[Verse 4]
On the silent evening breeze
Knowledge comes so quietly
Clear blue water from above
An avalanche can hold you up
The leaves that swirl about your eyes
May wear an unforeseen disguise
But when your clothing comes alive
You can be sure it's you inside
A song for all the seasons of your mind
