A season is a subdivision of the year, marked by changes in weather, ecology, and hours of daylight. Seasons result from the yearly revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of revolution. In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, variations of which may cause animals to go into hibernation or to migrate, and plants to be dormant.
During May, June and July, the northern hemisphere is exposed to more direct sunlight because the hemisphere faces the sun. The same is true of the southern hemisphere in November, December and January. It is the tilt of the Earth that causes the Sun to be higher in the sky during the summer months which increases the solar flux. However, due to seasonal lag, June, July and August are the hottest months in the northern hemisphere and December, January and February are the hottest months in the southern hemisphere.
In temperate and subpolar regions, generally four calendar-based seasons (with their adjectives) are recognized: spring (vernal), summer (estival), autumn (autumnal) and winter (hibernal). However, ecologists mostly use a six season model for temperate climate regions that includes pre-spring (prevernal) and late summer (serotinal) as distinct seasons along with the traditional four (See Ecological Seasons).

Summer nights and long warm days
Are stolen as the old moon falls
My mirror shows another face
Another place to hide it all
Sleeping with a full moon blanket
Sand and feathers for my head
Dreams have never been my answer
Dreams have never been my bed
Now I wanna cry about the storm
But you can’t grow feathers in the rain
And this naked floor is cold as you
This naked floor remains
Chorus
And I’m lost, behind
The words I’ll never find
And I’m left behind
As seasons roll on by
Bridge
Would you crawl into my world
And take me worlds away
Should I be beside myself
I might even stay
