Spring (Live Version) Lyrics

The first bloom in frost appeared

I cried when first I saw you

And prayed this wasn't real

Like snowdrifts a cold front

Deepened and grew

As sacred as I ever knew

No mockingbird would sing

There was no mama and no diamond ring

Just hope for sleep away from winter's sting

You and me

Moon blue and waning in the lonely longing for spring

My soul has soaked in such ache

But growing will take sunshine

And wind-strength and the rain

So now I abide

Until you arrive

And the spring inside me comes alive

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Born again with wings

A many-colored coat of dreams

Emerges from beneath the ice-sewn seams

Waiting patiently, I hope for hope of anything

That February's shadow still sends spring

Uncertainty still thundering

The end is almost here

I spent a long time wondering

Why did you have to go, my dear

Where did you go

I love you so

My heart's braver half confides

Winter haunts my bones but

The spring has arrived

I shiver as lyrics of love fill my lungs

And the labor of seasons comes

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Lullaby, blossom divine

No cradle will drop you tonight

You, me

And sweet beginnings in the hallowed haven of spring

In the hallowed haven of spring
