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

In England
Snow flakes in a new-born 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 will 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
