Seasons End Lyrics

Getting close to seasons end
I heard somebody say
That it might never snow again
In England

Snow flakes in a newborn fist
Sledging on a hill
Are these things we'll never see
In England

We'll tell our children's children why
We grew so tall and reached so high
We left our footprints in the earth
And punched a hole right through the sky

We'll tell them how we changed the world
And how we tamed the sea
And seasons they'll never know
In England

So watch the old world melt away
A loss regrets could never mend
You never miss it till it's gone
So say goodbye
Say goodbye

We'll tell our children's children why
We grew so tall and reached so high
You never miss it till it's gone
So say goodbye
Say goodbye
To seasons end

So watch the old world melt away
A loss regrets could never mend
You never miss it till it's gone
So say goodbye
Say goodbye

About

This song bio is unreviewed

A song about the inevitability of change, its most apparent meaning concerns climate change and its consequences. However, there’s an obvious second meaning to this song, which was much more personal to the members of the band. The departure of Fish, Marillion’s original vocalist, lyricist and frontman, was one hell of a season’s end for the band, and in this song they’re saying goodbye to him. This meaning is reinforced by the drowning portrait of a jester, chameleon on a burning tree and other symbols of the Fish era getting consumed by the elements on the album’s cover.
