River Birch Lyrics

Spring has finally sprung this year

You could come and lay out on the lawn

I would sit and play for you

And patiently observe until you're gone

River birch out by the shore

We don't know what life's in store

Fade away from memory our unity

And think of you as one

How the river birch fell down

Is something only birds have found

Only they were there to hear that terrible sound

Of when that old river birch fell down

Cracker sings of river birches, spring, and love

And laying on the lawn

Elsewhere in the world

Her country's genocidal armies are marching on

Elsewhere in her town

Motel prices are much much too high

She just closes her eyes and thinks of

All the beautiful things she'll try

How the river birch fell down

Is something only birds have found

Only they were there to hear that terrible sound

Of when that old river birch fell down
