If I wait ‘til the winter to say this
Will it be too late?
For the snow has already fallen
And the winds are great.
If I wait ‘til the spring to say this
Will it be too soon?
For the ground is not yet thawed
But the land’s in bloom.
If I wait ‘til summer to say this
Will it be alright?
For the sun and sand mislead me
Like the warmth at night.
If I wait ‘til the autumn to say this
Will it be too long?
For your true colours have started showing
But I might be wrong.
