A Change of Seasons lyrics (original version)

[II. Innocence]

I remember a time
My frail* virgin mind
Watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depths of winter's snow

Innocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life to see
Yet I knew there must be more

But those days are gone now
Changed like a leaf on a tree
Blown away forever
Into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
And I know where I stand
All of my childhood memories
Left lying in the sand

In my den of inequity
Viciousness and delicacy
Struggled to find the sane
Struggled to ease the pain
Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear
Now I know that there is more
The warmth is gone
But the chill forever here

[III. Carpe Diem]

"You know what carpe diem is? Seize the day." [Most likely from the film "Roxanne"]

I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall, ticking away
"Seize the day"
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way.
Look around, and hear the sound
Another time like this can't be found.

("Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
(Old Time is still a-flying;)
(And this same flower that smiles today)
(Tomorrow will be dying")

We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
(We can hope for the future)
(But there might not be one)

Life's too short to dwell on our tragedies [Most likely from the film "September"]
What's the use of looking back, what's the use of looking ahead? Today is the thing. [From the film "Shadow of a Doubt"]

In my frail, virgin mind
Words have lost my way
I have to seize the day
To home I returned

Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, "I Love You...
Good-bye"

Please don't go!

[V. Another World]

So so few between
My eyes filled full
With desire fulfilled
All my dreams came true
All the world,
And all of you
Everyday there's a constant reminder
Of all the pleasures we shared together
Love is not just a passing word
It's a state of heart that goes on forever

I was blinded by a paradise
Utopia high in the sky
The love there will never come away
Deep in sorrow, wandering faraway

I stood outside in the rain for us
I tried to work out all of the pain for us
I sat alone and took the blame for us
My mind has torn and gone insane for us

Innocent sinner
Repeat offender
Promiscuous promiser
A faith lender
Indecisive decisions
Causing hearless divisions
Shattering all my visions of us

All the world, I give to you
All the world...
All the world, I give to you
All the world...
(Please don't go)

[VII. The Crimson Sunset]

"Children of yesterday, heirs of tomorrow,
"What are you weaving? labor and sorrow?
"Look to your loom again, faster and faster
"Fly the great shuttles prepared by the Master." [From the Twilight Zone episode "No Time Like The Past"]

I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
Run through my head
Memories they taught me
For better or worse, alive or dead
I realize, there's no turning back
Life goes on the offbeaten track

I sit down with my son
Can't you see the crimson sunset
He's my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my day is done
Looking into the sun he said
'Don't go, don't go,
please don't go, now.
Don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go.'

"For the first time in a long time, I felt at peace." [From the film "Another Woman"]
