GOOD DAD - my friend the winter Lyrics

My friend the winter
Drives an old car
And comes down to visit about once per year
I tell him it's a death trap
It's a tin can
He couldn't drive anything worse
He shrugs it off and says he knows that something else is going to kill him first
And it's a shame
And it's a shame
My lover the spring
Is holding a matchbox
She's picking up smoking again
When she forgets to tend her garden
I can't blame her
She says it will grow to be the garden of Eden once she's dead
And it's a shame
And it's a shame
My brother the summer
Taps on my window with a crowbar
He doesn't know where else to run
He confesses murder
He set fire to some place
He didn't mean to hurt her
There are tears burnt on his face
And it's a shame
And it's a shame
My rival the autumn
Is laying down his arms
He doesn't speak to me but I know
That everything's changing
It's a solemn season now
We can turn the hands ourselves but I don't think anything's coming back
And it's a shame
And it's a shame
And it's a shame
And it's a shame
