We go to the playground   In the wintertime   The sun is fading fast   Upon the slides into the past   Upon the swings of indecision   In the wintertime      In the dimming diamonds   Scattering in the park   In the tickling   And the trembling   Of freeze tag   In the dark      We play that we're actors   On a movie screen   I will be Dietrich   And you can be Dean      You stand   With your hand   In your pocket   And lean against the wall   You will be Bogart   And I will be   Bacall      And we can only say yes now   To the sky, to the street, to the night      Slow fade now to black   Play me one more game   Of chivalry   You and me   Do you see   where I've been hiding   In this hide-and-seek?      We go to the playground   In the wintertime   The sun is fading fast   Upon the slides into the past   Upon the swings of indecision   In the wintertime   Wintertime   Wintertime      We can only say yes now   To the sky, to the street, to the night   We can only say yes now   To the sky, to the street, to the night
