Discover the story of the song > Seasons Come, Seasons Go – Bobbie Gentry

The song is about the different seasons and how they affect the protagonist. In spring, she sees dogwood blossoms and new green grass, and feels the whispering of secrets. In summer, she remembers her partner during a rainstorm and sees lightning and plowed fields. In fall, she sees a trail of grain and outstretched wings. In winter, she sees ice and diamonds and wishes her partner were with her. The song talks about how the seasons come and go, but the protagonist's love for her partner remains constant.
