When Spring Comes

stand here on the bridge with me and look down below
see how high the river is from all the melting snow
I think the river is laughing
like a thousand old ladies
like a thousand silver chimes in the wind
ah, when Spring comes
there’s nothing you can hide
making all your feelings come alive
frozen toes and tons of clothes
in winter time is done
people are like flowers
they blossom in the sun
open up you flowers
tell us when and we’ll follow you
la la la
ah, when Spring comes
there’s nothing you can hide
making all your feelings come alive
so you open up your windows and doors
and the sun and the breeze
streams across the floors
the river is rising
the birds are returning
the earth is promising
Love
(or something like that)
I don’t know
talking with you on the road
I couldn’t hear what you said
for there was honking in the heavens
honking overhead
but you can’t fool me I know that cars don’t fly
la la la
ah, when Spring comes
there’s nothing you can hide
making all your feelings come alive
and you feel so different inside
that you think that in winter
you must’ve been barely alive
the river is rising
the birds are returning
the earth is promising
Love
(or something like that)
I don’t know
I think I would read my books
if they weren’t upside down
and I wasn’t on the window ledge
dropping them on the ground
I think I’ll get my bicycle out
down the road I’ll sway
la la la
ah, when Spring comes
there’s nothing you can hide
making all your feelings come alive
so you open up your windows and doors
and the sun and the breeze
streams across the floors
the river is rising
the birds are returning
the earth is promising
Love
(or something like that)
I don’t know
