[Orchestra chimes, like an alarm]
[Sad music]
[Whisper] Another winter.
[Wistful music]
[Singing] The renters go home.
The maple goes
from crimson to brown.
Oh, God.
My God.
Another winter
in a summer town.
The beach is empty.
They covered the pools.
The patio umbrellas come down.
Oh, God.
My God.
Another winter
in a summer town.
One little leaf
adrift in the breeze
refuses to fall
from the sky.
Blown by the wind,
it clings to the tree,
unwilling to wither
and die.
The summer's over,
but I'm still a girl,
cavorting in my
carnival crown.
From blossom to blossom,
I buzz like a bee,
then glance in the mirror,
and who do I see?
A middle aged woman
inhabiting me.
[Chord]
Because it's winter
[Strings music]
in a summer town.
[Soft crescendo]
Oh oh oh oh ohhh.
[Big Edie] Ah ah ah ahhh.
[Big Edie, Little Edie duet]
Ohh ohhh, oh ohhh
Ahh ahhh, ah ahhh
[Music]
[Duet]
Yesterday's dreams
are faded bouquets
roses that died
on the vine.
Yesterday seems
more real than today,
it's difficult drawing the line.
My season ended
a long time ago.
But no one took
the party tent down.
- All alone now.
The pink paper lanterns
still twinkle in place.
My young Navy hero,
his tender embrace.
My sapphire-blue ocean
Oh, how can I face
Another winter
[Sad music]
in a summer town?
[Music]
Oh, God.
Ohhhh God.
Myyyyy God.
[Violins]
[Musical chimes]
