Please don’t leave me in winter   The trees are bare and the sky is cold   You can leave me in summer   When the sun is gold     Please don’t leave me in springtime   When the rain falls without end   You can wait for the flowers to bloom   You can leave me then     Don’t leave me in summer   Cause it’s too hot to cry   And the bees are lovely   When that grass, when that grass is high     If you go in autumn as the days fall short   The nights loom long   When the first frosting’s the ground   Like a leaf I will be gone
