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
