Lyrics

Brother you know the winter is long and dark
Colder than Kim that night in Thomson Park
Harder than Angela when she’s been denied
I’m going to ride
Ride

Around here spring is slow to get going
But the river keeps rising til it’s overflowing
Pat came on like that, like a relentless tide
I’m going to ride
Ride

One two three four seasons
I’m listing six reasons
And I can’t count the ways I tried
Can’t stop the earth spinning
Can’t fault my taste in women
Gonna mount my four stroke engine and ride
Gonna mount my four stroke engine and ride

Deep in the heat and the rhythm of the summer
Meaghan was marching to a different drummer
I came to believe that in her own way she tried
I’m going to ride

One two three four seasons
I’m listing six reasons
And I can’t count the ways I tried
Can’t stop the earth spinning
Can’t fault my taste in women
Gonna mount my four stroke engine and ride
Gonna mount my four stroke engine and

I don’t want to be accused of feeling used and keeping score
And you’re excused if you confused
the earlier reasons one through four
But when autumn fell I heard Margaret tell Sarah
she’d take it to a whole other level
And Sarah signed and sealed some kind of
clandestine deal with the devil
The light was waning the day I met Miriam
Old man winter rose from his delirium
He said run, son
Before I take hold outside
Before it gets cold outside
You’ve already got six good reasons to ride
Six good reasons to ride

One two three four seasons
I’m listing six reasons
And I can’t count the ways I tried
Can’t stop the earth spinning
Can’t fault my taste in women
Gonna mount my four stroke engine and ride
Gonna mount my four stroke engine and ride

Brother you know the winter
Brother you know the winter is long
Brother you know the winter is long and dark
Colder than Kim in Thomson Park
