Текст пісні
When I met you I was a young man, green and keen
You opened up a sophisticated world
A decade between us, bud and bloom
The years passed and the seasons were unfurled
August was a warm month, the summer fruit your heart
My June was pulled towards you, a drunken wasp
Your September still glowed golden as the first leaf fell to earth
My July as a jasmine breeze blew soft
The calendar relentless, high tides and low
From wax to wane to wax to wane anew
The seasons turn, the fields are burnt, the nights close in and soon
All green turns to brown then to blue
October was for harvest, the gathering of fruits
For you August was a fond remembered song
November was a harsh time, the sting of early frost
The bitter nights grew long
August to September, June to July
A season to remember
December was an ice queen with fire within to smoulder
King January followed in her wake
Entered February, preceding March and rainy April
A gradual thaw and the seeds began to take
And the buds pushed through
The buds pushed through
The buds pushed through, pushed through
The buds pushed through and we begin anew
This is the ballad of August and June
This is the ballad of August and June
This is the ballad of August and June
This is the ballad of August and June
This is the ballad of August and June
This is the ballad of August and June
This is the ballad of August and June
This is the ballad of August and June
This is the ballad of August and June
This is the ballad of August and June
