I can barely hear you your voice muffled by the dirt Did you bring the children with you? Is Suzy in her yellow skirt? Its nothing like they told us those Catholic teachers lied It's just a dark unbroken silence and a solitude defied [chorus] What season are we in I've lost all sense of time the cohesion of chagrin dissolving into the sublime What color is the sky Is it red or is it blue I miss the spark inside your eyes from my porch in Timbuktu Would it all be different if I chose to burn to ash would I pass through gills of minnows or die in the fire's flash? Breathless in the darkness your heart, a dying dove dress threads start to loosen their hold on what was love [chorus] What season are we in I've lost all sense of time the cohesion of chagrin dissolving into the sublime What color is the sky Is it red or is it blue I miss the spark inside your eyes from my porch in Timbuktu I miss the sound of summer thunder and waves crashing on the beach Wilson Picket's midnight hour and that first bite into a peach I'm in the chaos of my silence in the loud loneliness of peace there is no self-reliance when you live your life along the crease [chorus] What season are we in I've lost all sense of time the cohesion of chagrin dissolving into the sublime What color is the sky Is it red or is it blue I miss the spark inside your eyes from my porch in Timbuktu
