lyrics

Your parents danced
and you was born
Like a marigold you grew
You watched them age
Like apple cores
Waltzing 'til they couldn't

Be as gentle as you can
with her, and

Monday please
Go easy on us
You outnumber us
And you'll outlive us
And Winter, please
Fasten to your dress
Dead leaves what left you
And take us out dancing
And be as gentle as you can
With her, and

Everybody gets to be
An orphan before long
You watched your mother
Turn to one
With courage in
Her heart

So be as gentle
As you can
With her, and

Monday please
Go easy on us
You outnumber us
And you'll outlive us
And Winter, please
Fasten to your dress
Dead leaves what left you
And take us out dancing
And be as gentle as you can
With her, and
