[Verse 1]

A night train, midnight, bags gathered 'round my feet

Possessions, some lessened to carry with me

Heavy and soothing, like a gentle symphony

I rest my head right back upon my seat

It's hard and cold, though the best thing for me

This train is moving, but my heart is stationary


[Chorus]

Seasons change, surely it won't be the same

I'm hoping I won't stay the same

Reasons strange, why we all must play these games


[Verse 2]

I left it with you: a note that was discreet

I made sure I put it upon the cellar door

It's hanging, hoping, will you read it while I weep?

Last time, the last time it flickers through me

So vivid, it rushes from my head down to my feet

We're laughing, joking, through a dance to my defeat


[Chorus]

Seasons change, it'll never be the same

I'm hoping I won't stay the same

Reasons strange, why we all must play these games


[Chorus]

Seasons change, it'll never be the same

I'm hoping I won't stay the same

Reasons strange, why we all must play these games


[Chorus]

Seasons change, it'll never be the same

I'm hoping I won't stay the same

Reasons strange, why we all must play these games

Stays the same, stay the same
