When in the winter of our discontent   We found a way   To tie a bond between our hearts   In the open field should there we lay      Found a sharp stone, found a big tree   Found a clear space in the bark   Laughing louder chance a fine thing   Moving slowly off the mark      Out of season given reason   Could we see inclement weather?      Will you want me as I want you as you are?   The autumn is the finest time, the finest of them all   Will you need me as I need you as I did?   As I always should've done, tell me when we're there      Not too long and not too far   My dreams and I were wondering   If we harbor, if we labor   Sweet the fruit that fortune brings      Who will help us through these cold years?   Could I glimpse a rising sun?      Will you want me as I want you as you are?   The autumn is the finest time, the finest of them all   Will you need me as I need you as I did?   As I always should've done, tell me when we're there      Will you love me as I love you constantly?   Wasted in the downpour   Whatever we believe, whatever we believe      Take them under, take them over   Crack the bullwhip, chop the tree
