Summer is over

And winter is here

Sadness hides the sun

Once there was laughter

And now there is fear

Sadness hides the sun

People smile people say

There's no need for display

And they act as if life was fun

But they know in their heart

Daddy's coming one day

Sadness hides the sun

Once there were pastures

Once there were flowers

Sadness hides the sun

Now there is only

The dust and the hours

Sadness hides the sun

Yesterday came to pass

And not one blade of grass

Was left running to show one

And they feared it would come

But nothing was done

Well sadness hides the sun

What had happened

Who had the right

Sadness hides the sun

Why is there no answer

Why is there no light

Sadness hides the sun

This could all be a dream

As the fools have foreseen

Just what our rules could have done

There's only one way

You'll win peace from today

Before sadness hides the sun
