Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Never released Ice thaws the sun when autumn comes And bristol trips and bugy rides are over And the nucleus of everyone has disappeared As winter holds my shoulder So put on your make-up Make up to me now Kick off your sand-shoes Throw them in the sea now It's the season of the rain
You wear your big hat I'll wear my check cap Throw up your string bags Into the old trap It's the season of the rain And i gotta get home I wanna go home again Castles in the country See the maids of air Rambling fires and canopies contain us And the waters of the countryside Wash away our cares Leave the city lights behind us
