lyrics

all my friends are drunk
and i am still so sober
everyone is getting laid
and i am getting nada today
all the lights are out in
February sky tonight
i am going down to the riverside
to watch them

may they show me green
give me rose
any colour's charming i suppose
that will do
that will have to do

all the trucks get stuck
in the snow in the riverbank
and my feet threaten to pull the same prank
guess i've got myself to thank for going out
in all the snowflakes, looking upward
the darkness breaks
an incision gets sliced
through all that icy black

so show yourself to me
trailing all your colours
your dress of green, fringed with pink, let's
dance like lovers in violet

i don't care what that groundhog may or may not have seen
i would weather six more weeks of winter
if i could see the aurora like this one more time
i would weather six weeks without love

all in all it's been a good one
all in all it's been a pretty good valentine's day.

and i don't care i don't care
i'll just trip the light fantastic
on my own
i will weather six weeks without love.
