Lyrics
How I wish that it was summer
Expressing a desire for a perpetual summer, symbolizing a happy and eternal time.
That you and I could live forever
Wishing for an enduring life with the mentioned person.
But winter comes too soon
Highlighting the inevitability of difficult times, represented by winter.
And the roses always die
Noting the transience of beauty, using roses as a metaphor for fleeting moments.
Sometimes the hardest part of living

Is goodbye
Reiterating the emotional difficulty associated with farewells.
They won't remember us I know
Expecting that the memory of the individuals will fade over time.
When we're six feet deep beneath the snow
Imagining a burial scenario and the idea that people won't recall the departed after some time.
The earth it spins so fast
Reflecting on the swift passage of time and life's constant changes.
And heavy tears they always dry
Emphasizing the temporary nature of sorrow, as tears eventually dry.
Sometimes the hardest part of living

Is goodbye

Whenever the winds may change
Contemplating the possibility of reunion with a change in circumstances.
Maybe we'll meet again

In another time, in another place
Envisioning various scenarios for a potential reunion.
As a fleeting glance through a windowpane

Or strangers in the rain

Would we remember then?

Hold your sorrows to the wind

For a minute time is standing still

Watch the ashes as they rise

Burning embers like fireflies
