Ice thaws the sun when autumn comes

And Bristol trips and bugy rides are over

And the nucleus of everyone has disappeared

As winter holds my shoulder



So put on your make-up

Make up to me now

Kick off your sand-shoes

Throw them in the sea now

It's the season of the rain



You wear your big hat

I'll wear my check cap

Throw up your string bags

Into the old trap

It's the season of the rain

And I gotta get home

I wanna go home again



Castles in the country

See the maids of air

Rambling fires and canopies contain us

And the waters of the countryside

Wash away our cares

Leave the city lights behind us
