The Seasons Reverse

Lyrics

Grubbs: September reverses and the equinoxes flip And winter slides into Fall

When glimpsed in leaps of nine months or more The seasons reverse They spring back and fall forward They reshuffle when you touch down after long intervals

September reverses and the equinoxes flip Summer becomes Spring

The seasons reshuffle At a span of a year and a half September reverses and the equinoxes flip They reshuffle when you touch down after long intervals

September reverses and the equinoxes flip Winter slides into Fall

They shuffle because it's been more than two years First seeing you in a snowbank Then a sweater And then a sweater

They reshuffle with leaps of some time Or reshuffle with leaps of distance

They reshuffle with leaps of some time Or reshuffle with leaps of distance

Kid: Monsieur! O'Rourke: Um, I don't speak French Yes Kid: Oh. ? O'Rourke: Don't worry keep... keep doing... keep doing... I'm just recording you... It's a microphone Kid: C'est quoi ça? O'Rourke: Oh, what time? Kid: Nan mais ça? O'Rourke: This? Kid: Ouais O'Rourke: It's a microphone I'm recording you blowing off firecrackers Is it okay? Um, is it okay if I record you setting off the firecrackers? I don't know what time it is, sorry Kid: Vous partez quand? O'Rourke: I'm sorry? Kid: Vous partez euhh quand? O'Rourke: Uhhmm... No no keep go... Kid: Hein? O'Rourke: Keep—keep blowing 'em up Kid: D'Angleterre vous êtes ? D'Anglais? O'Rourke: I only speak English, I'm sorry Kid: Ah ouais
