Dar Williams - Spring Street Lyrics
Im sorry that I left youWith your questions all aloneBut I was too happy drivingAnd too angry to drive homeI was thinking about the easy courageOf my distant friendsThey said I could let this bridge wash outAnd never make amendsCan I blow this small townMake a big soundLike the star of a film noir postcardCan I just forget the frames I shared with youAnd I cant believe what theyre sayingTheyre saying I can change my mindStart over on spring streetIm welcome anytimeWell there are spring street storefront daisiesFloating on their neon stemsThere are new shirts on the clothes racksShould I feel like one of themI can find a small apartmentWhere a struggling artist diedAnd pretend because I pay the rentI know that pain insideYeah, lets watch the tour bus stop and tell usHeres the scene of a spring green life dreamTake the best partWrite it in your caffeine diaryAnd I cant believe what theyre sayingTheyre saying I can leave tonightStart over on spring streetIm welcome anytimeThis year april had a blizzardJust to show she did not careAnd the new dead leavesThey made the trees look like children with gray hairBut Ill push myself up through the dirtAnd shake my petals freeIm resolved to being bornAnd so resigned to braveryYeah the one who leaves this also grieves thisToo much rain on a prairie flood plainHouses floating, love is like thatWe built on the riverAnd thats to say, yeah Im leavingBut I dont have to go thereI dont have to go to (am7)spring streetcause its spring everywhere . . .
