歌詞

The year is turning one more page

And Someone holds the book

I didn't ask the heat to soften

Or the light to slant

I didn't teach the leaf to fall

Or tell the geese to chant

The turning isn't mine to run

And what a mercy, that

To everything there is a season

A time for every thing

A time for summer's letting go

A time for gathering in

The chai is warm between my hands

The window's cool nearby

Two seasons meeting in one room

And both of them are right

So here's my thanks for hinges

On which the whole year swings

To everything there is a season

A time for every thing

A time for summer's letting go

A time for gathering in

I only need to set the cup

And notice, and be glad

The One who turns the seasons round

Has never turned them bad

Mmm... mmm... mmm

To everything there is a season

A time for every thing

A time for summer's letting go

A time for gathering in

To everything there is a season

A time for every thing

A time for summer's letting go

A time for gathering in

The year is turning one more page

And every page is kept
