My FIRST RECOLLECTION is a day in DecemberBlack iron steam engine covered in iceLike some Precambrian monster, moaning and snorting Nothing is ever gonna beat that beast in a fair fightI've sat and watched the woodpiles grow through the summerNow I'm sitting, smelling summer burn through the fallWinter's coming on, day's getting drearyAnd I'm thinking this is the season that I leave you allI've heard a man in a crisis falls back on what he knows bestA murderer to murder, a thief to theftAnd I don't want you to think that this is some kind of deathbed confessionBut run is what I did, when put to the testMy first recollection is a day in November747 tracing lines through the skyLike some old gypsy curse silently preyingupon the dreams of those who jealously watch life pass them byI've sat and watched my troubles pile through the summerNow I'm sitting, hearing my youngest cry down the hallWinter's coming on, day's getting drearyAnd I'm thinking, this is the season that I leave you allI've heard that the son must bear the burdens of the fatherBut it's the daughter that's left to clean up the messAnd I don't want you to think that I'm asking for absolutionBut run is what I did, when put to the test
