Spring Street |
«I'm sorry that I left you |
With your questions all alone |
But I was too happy driving |
And too angry to drive home |
I was thinking about the easy courage |
Of my distant friends |
They said I could let this bridge wash out |
And never make amends |
Can I blow this small town |
Make a big sound |
Like the star of a film noir postcard |
Can I just forget the frames I shared with you |
And I can’t believe what they’re saying |
They’re saying I can change my mind |
Start over on Spring Street |
I’m welcome anytime |
Well there are Spring Street storefront daisies |
Floating on their neon stems |
There are new shirts on the clothes racks |
Should I feel like one of them |
I can find a small apartment |
Where a struggling artist died |
And pretend because I pay the rent |
I know that pain inside |
Yeah, let’s watch the tour bus stop and tell us |
Here’s the scene of a spring green life dream |
Take the best part |
Write it in your caffeine diary |
And I can’t believe what they’re saying |
They’re saying I can leave tonight |
Start over on Spring Street |
I’m welcome anytime |
This year April had a blizzard |
Just to show she did not care |
And the new dead leaves |
They made the trees look like children with gray hair |
But I’ll push myself up through the dirt |
And shake my petals free |
I’m resolved to being born |
And so resigned to bravery |
Yeah the one who leaves this also grieves this |
Too much rain on a prairie flood plain |
Houses floating, love is like that |
We built on the river |
And that’s to say, yeah I’m leaving |
But I don’t have to go there |
I don’t have to go to Spring Street |
'Cause it’s spring everywhere… " |
