Ugly Purple Sweater - An Unseasonably Warm Day lyrics

An unseasonably warm day in the fall marked the start of the finish And all of God's creatures were a'scurrying in unnatural circles And those so inclined heaved a sigh and began to say Lo and behold, you know all this could've been foretold! We should've known! We should've known! An unseasonably warm week in the spring marked the end of the finish And all of God's children were a'scurrying in unnatural circles Some threw up their hands and ran and began to say I'll say if I may, you deserve it if it ends this way And you should've know You should've known And they're taking their kin and their kind Far away from their dire predictions Hoping once they've renounced They're acquitted of crimes and unpleasant afflictions And they should've known. They should've known An unseasonable warm year in a few years from now was...beginning! And all of God's children were alive and afraid and a'scurrying Those who had fled came on down from their hills and caves There were more still alive than they had ever hoped or prayed And we should've known. We should've known And they're taking their kin and their kind Far away from their dire predictions Hoping once they've renounced They're acquitted of crimes and unpleasant afflictions And I.... I think I'll insert, if I may, that your 'duty' is your dereliction Hoping once they've renounced They're acquitted of crimes and unpleasant afflictions And you should've known. You... should have known.
