We go to the playground
In the wintertime
The sun is fading fast

Upon the slides into the past
Upon the swings of indecision
In the wintertime


In the dimming diamonds
Scattering in the park

In the tickling
And the trembling
Of freeze tag

In the dark

We play that we're actors

On a movie screen
I will be Dietrich
And you can be Dean


You stand
With your hand

In your pocket
And lean against the wall
You will be Bogart

And I will be
Bacall


And we can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night


Slow fade now to black
Play me one more game
Of chivalry

You and me
Do you see
where I've been hiding

In this hide-and-seek?

We go to the playground

In the wintertime
The sun is fading fast
Upon the slides into the past

Upon the swings of indecision
In the wintertime
Wintertime

Wintertime

We can only say yes now

To the sky, to the street, to the night
We can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
