We go to the playground 
In the wintertime 
The sun is fading fast 
Upon the slides into the past 
Upon the swings of indecision 
In the wintertime 
 
In the dimming diamonds 
Scattering in the park 
In the tickling 
And the trembling 
Of freeze tag 
In the dark 
 
We play that we're actors 
On a movie screen 
I will be Dietrich 
And you can be Dean 
 
You stand 
With your hand 
In your pocket 
And lean against the wall 
You will be Bogart 
And I will be 
Bacall 
 
And we can only say yes now 
To the sky, to the street, to the night 
 
Slow fade now to black 
Play me one more game 
Of chivalry 
You and me 
Do you see 
where I've been hiding 
In this hide-and-seek? 
 
We go to the playground 
In the wintertime 
The sun is fading fast 
Upon the slides into the past 
Upon the swings of indecision 
In the wintertime 
Wintertime 
Wintertime 
 
We can only say yes now 
To the sky, to the street, to the night 
We can only say yes now 
To the sky, to the street, to the night
