in

In August I feel fine, in November you were mine.
In 1995 I had a job, in 1998 I had none.
In winter I miss the sun.
In the morning I start my day.
In the afternoon I go away.
In the evening you come to me.
In a minute you will see.
In two weeks you‘ll be with me.

At 6 o‘clock I go to work.

At Christmas I will be at home.
At Easter I will be alone.
At the same time every day all my neighbours go away.
