And while you stand and Watch mays flowers I have seen aprils showers Come and wash all Of junes blood away Your eyes cloud Your finger trembles On the trigger of your shotgun Like a firebrand in august You find that you have shot one Turning back you see At last Januarys torrid past And octobers son sets At noon Decembers thaw Thaws something in you Did you think youd See it in you? Power to control novembers reign Though your souls Become shallow you have seen Julys shadow And gun in hand You march off to the wilderness And through septembers Early leaves we can See you through the trees You lock and load Through februarys dawning And in that lonely shotgun blast We can see Seasons past But this time The blood wont wash away
