Well, it's time to begin as the summer sets in
It's the scene you set for new lovers
You play your part, paintin' in a new start
But each gate will open another
June, July and August said
"It's probably hard to plan ahead"
June, July and August said
"It's better to bask in each other"
Gatekeeper, seasons wait for your nod
Gatekeeper, you held your breath
Made the summer go on and on
Well, they tried to stay in from the cold and the wind
Makin' love and makin' their dinner
Only to find that the love that they grew
In the summer froze
February, April said
"Don't be fooled by that summer again"
February, April said
That half of the year, well, we'll never be friends
Gatekeeper, seasons wait for your nod, mm-mm
Gatekeeper, you held your breath
Made the winter go on and on
Gatekeeper, gatekeeper, gatekeeper
Seasons wait for your nod
