lyrics

The January girl sets off in woollen hat and scarf but soon discards them,
The February girl needs not just scarves but shawls and coats and mittens too,
In March the girl spots daffodils and wonders what the frost will kill,
Or will there be a heatwave?

The April girl is worried for the Easter lambs being born into a blizzard,
In May the girl soaks in the sun and wonders whether summer captured spring,
In June it’s time to be outside, go open up your windows wide
To welcome in the summer

July’s so hot the bees die off, the girl can’t get enough of ice cream sundae,
The August daughters want to play but now the rain has chased the sun away,
In September Michael comes to court the girl but she’s no fun,
She just complains about the weather

October girl tries harvesting her garden but the Autumn fruit has withered,
November girl looks on and cries as streams and rivers flow into the towns,
December girl tucks in the night with evergreens and candlelight,
There’s no need to light the fire

The January girl reclaims her woollen clothes and vows to treasure every day,
She looks back through the year that’s passed and worries for her sisters yet to come,
The January girl’s still here, but will the seasons of the year
Soon be lost forever?
