Getting close to seasons end I heard somebody say That it might never snow again In England Snow flakes in a new-born fist Sledging on a hill Are these things we'll never see In England We'll tell our children's children why We grew so tall and reached so high We left our footprints in the earth And punched a hole right through the sky We'll tell them how we changed the world And how we tamed the sea And seasons they will never know In England So watch the old world melt away A loss regrets could never mend You never miss it till it's gone So say goodbye, say goodbye We'll tell our children's children why We grew so tall and reached so high You never miss it till it's gone So say goodbye, say goodbye To seasons end
