OK here is the song.
"February" by Dar Williams
I threw your keys in the water I looked back
They'd frozen half-way down in the ice.
They froze up so quickly,the keys and their owners
Even after the anger it all turned silent and then
everyday turned solitary
So it came to February
First we forgot where we planted those bulbs last year
and then we forgot that we planted at all
then we forgot what plants are all together
and I blamed you for my freezing and forgetting it
the nights were long and cold and scary
can we live through February
And I think Christmas was a long red blur
shot up like a warning
we gave preasents without cards and then the snow
and when the snow came we were always out shoveling
and we'd drop to sleep exhausted
and we'd wake up and its snowing
And February was so long that it lasted into March
and found us walking our path alone together
you stopped and pointed and you said, "That's a crocus"
and I said, "What's a crocus?"
and you said, "It's a flower"
I try to remember but I said, "What's a flower?"
you said, "I still love you"
The leaves were turning as we drove to the hardware store
My new lover made me keys to the house
And when we got home well we just started chopping wood
'cause you you never know how next year will be
and we gather all are arms can carry
I have lost to February

And in case Aaquwaa got it wrong, how about Eight of Cups?

Nope. None of them are what I was thinking.

Not what I was thinking, but the 10 of wands sure is fitting for this song. I was thinking of a different card, though.

Kitty Fisher has it.
This song makes me think of death, because it talk about how a relationship had died due to neglecting to recongnize the signs, but then ends with the life of a new relationship. This time the couple has learned to prepare for the harsh February, and hopefully will not fall victim.
So I pass the torch!!

Arcana:
Please do post a lyric. I for one will play.
I'm terrified I'll guess right on the Lit. Quote game (probably not much chance, but still) and then have to come up with a quote that is suitably...err...literary. I wouldn't dream of guessing on the Poetry Quote game, b/c I wrote one good poem in my life, when I was 14, back when bell-bottoms weren't considered "retro." But I can spout song lyrics with the best of them. ;)
