Lyrics

SPRINGTIME

SPRINGTIME AROUND THE CORNER
ANXIOUSLY I AWAIT
SUN SHINE DOWN UPON ME
WARM ME FROM THIS STATE

HOLDING ON FOR SO LONG NOW
HIDING UNDER THE SNOW
APRIL SHOWERS REVEAL ME
CRYING TO GO

OUT INTO THE SUNLIGHT
BLINDING RAYS OF SUNSHINE
FORCING FLOWERS INTO BLOOM
MAKE ME FEEL AGAIN FINE

BARE FEET TOUCHING THE GRASS NOW
MUD SQUISHING BETWEEN MY TOES
FILL MY LUNGS WITH FRESH AIR
BREATH IN WHAT THE WIND BLOWS

COLDER THAN ANY I CAN REMEMBER
FREEZING MY SOUL IN THE DEPTHS OF THE SNOW
HARDENED BY STORMS RUNNING ONE INTO ANOTHER
WON?T YOU MELT MY HEART AGAIN

STAR FILLED NIGHTS WITH MY LOVER
SLEEPIN UNDER THE MOON
LAZY WAKE IN THE MORNING
DON?T RISE UP UNTIL NOON

BITTER COFFEE TO WAKE US
BREWED ON THE COALS FROM THE NIGHT
BIRDS SINGING UP THE SUN RISE
MAN IT?S JUST OUT OF SIGHT

COLDER THAN ANY I CAN REMEMBER
FREEZING MY SOUL IN THE DEPTHS OF THE SNOW
HARDENED BY STORMS RUNNING ONE INTO ANOTHER
WON?T YOU MELT MY HEART AGAIN


THERE WAS AN INCIDENT AT THE RESIDENCE
BENEATH CLAPBOARD COVERED SHEATHING
SHEETS AND WALLS AND HAND-ME-DOWNS
AND THE MEMORIES ARE WRITHING
IN THE HEAT OF THE FIRE THE FLAMES ARE BREATHING DOWN THE HALL
INTO THE PLACE WHERE LOVE CONCEIVED WITH AMAZING GRACE
AND THE CHANNEL CHANGER MELTS AWAY WITH THE VISION OF A SUNNY DAY
WHEN THE ROSES BLOOMED IN THE FLOWER BED AND THE KITCHEN FLOOR WHERE THE DOG WAS FED IS
NOTHING NOW BUT A MEMORY AS YOU STAND AMAZED WHERE IT USED TO BE
BABY BOOKS AND PHOTOGRAPHS HOME VIDEOS AND ALL THE LAUGHS
LATE AT NIGHT WITH HER AS SHE CRIES NOW ON YOUR SHOULDER
ARGUMENTS AT THE KITCHEN TABLE UNRESOLVED NOW TURN TO SABLE
ALL FORGOTTEN NOW?
AND THE BABY CRIES AS THE FLAMES ARE RACING
AND THE HAND OF GOD IS PLACING
YOUR BURDEN DOWN
WAY DOWN
WAY DOWN
RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND?


SPRINGTIME AROUND THE CORNER
ANXIOUSLY I AWAIT
SUN SHINE DOWN UPON ME
WARM ME FROM THIS STATE

HOLDING ON FOR SO LONG NOW
HIDING UNDER THE SNOW
APRIL SHOWERS REVEAL ME CRYING TO GO

OUT INTO THE SUNLIGHT
BLINDING RAYS OF SUNSHINE
FORCING FLOWERS INTO BLOOM
MAKE ME FEEL AGAIN FINE?
