,
I  get dressed up in my winter clothes
And  step outside to look at the roses
But  they're all covered in the morning snow
 Just open  your heart
 And the world  will carry you home  tonight
 It will
, , ,
 I get dressed up in my summer clothes
 And step outside to look at the roses
 But they're all covered in their sharper thorns
 Just open your eyes
 And the world will follow you home tonight
 It will
Let's  put on our rain coats
 And drench  ourselves in England's weather
Just  to know we're free
 We'll bury our heads down beneath  the old oak tree
 Just you and me
 But please
 Oh, don't take  this broken heart of mine
 It's the only  beat that I have left
 And it's pulsing  through this empty chest
 Even I  don't know where I should begin
, , ,
 I get dressed up in my autumn clothes
 And step out side to pick up the leaves in
 I cannot believe the whole year has gone
 I open my arms to embrace you
 It's time to go right back to the start
 Let's put on our rain coats
 And drench ourselves in England's weather
 Just to know we're free
 We'll bury our heads down beneath the old oak tree
 Just you and me
 But please
 Oh, don't take this broken heart of mine
 It's the only beat that I have left
 And it's pulsing through this empty chest
 Even I don't know where I should begin
