From the North she came
And took him by surprise as he was leavin'
In the train station on the platform
She was a rose from Eden
And behind her eyes he saw
Places he'd never been but would like to go
And even when the perfume dulled his senses
Somehow he still said "no"
And he woke up cold and alone
'Cause you can't feel the sun when it's freezin'
And the river won't run when it's dry
Don't plant your love out of season
'Cause the winter's where roses go to die
The Triple Crown unfolded
As she and the coffee and liquor fought for his brain
Sunday mornin' choirs sang peace and grace
But all he felt was his pain
And she was so far away
'Cause you can't feel the sun when it's freezin'
And the river won't run when it's dry
Don't plant your love out of season
'Cause the winter's where roses go to die
Don't give your hand to somebody new
When there's no room to make your heart their home
And tomorrow you'll be gone
'Cause you can't feel the sun when it's freezin'
And the river won't run when it's dry
Don't plant your love out of season
'Cause the winter is where
The winter is where the winter is where
Oh and the river won't run when it's dry
Don't plant your love out of season
