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, Saying I could let this bridge was hout and never make
|
amends, Can I blow this small town, make a big sound, Like the start 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 am welcome anytime. 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 scent 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 caan leave
|
tonight, Start over on Sprin
|
g Street, I am 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 that
|
one wwho leaves this also grieves this, Too much rain on a prairie flood plain,
|
Houses floating, love is like that, we built on the river, yeah, 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
