Lyrics

Ripper of a Reason
There's that nip in the air of a chilly winter season
A ripper of a reason
For the tears I wipe from eyes
Not that affected by the chill
My ripper of a reason 'til
The chilly winter season is replaced by summer skies

There's that sniffle and the cough of a cold not quite easing
A ripper of a reason
For the tissues in my hand
Not that affected by the chill
My ripper of a reason 'til
The cough and cold cold-season gives way to sunburnt land

It's a ripper of a reason
Just a ripper of a reason
A ripper of a reason for what flows from missing you
But when the winter's over and the sky turns sunshine blue
My ripper of a reason
Ripper of a reason
My ripper of a reason will be version number two

Bridge:
And as I think about it in advance
I'm thinking allergy's my summer chance
A ripper of a reason for those tissues in my hand
Eyes hay-fever affected as warm breezes fan the land
A ripper of a reason
Yes ripper of a reason
A ripper of a reason for explaining
Not complaining
Just explaining
Yes explaining
Explaining why my life these days has not turned out as
planned

There's fragrance in the air of the flowers of the season
A ripper of a reason
For the tears I wipe my eyes
Not that affected by the smell
My ripper of a reason 'til
The sunny summer season is replaced by winter skies
Not at all affected by the smell
My ripper of a reason 'til
The sunny summer season is replaced by winter skies

It's a ripper of a reason
Another ripper of a reason
Ripper of a reason for what flows from missing you
Even when the winter's over and the sky turns warm and blue
My ripper of a reason
Ripper of a reason
The ripper of a reason that I give
Will be version number two
Yeah yeah yeah
When the winter season's over and the sky turns warm and blue
My ripper of a reason
Ripper of a reason
The ripper of a reason that I give
Will be version number two
It's a ripper of a reason
Another ripper of a reason
Ripper of a reason
