Spring Street
Songs » D » Dar Williams » Spring Street
Im 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 cant believe what theyre saying
Theyre saying I can change my mind
Start over on spring street
Im 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, lets watch the tour bus stop and tell us
Heres the scene of a spring green life dream
Take the best part
Write it in your caffeine diary
And I cant believe what theyre saying
Theyre saying I can leave tonight
Start over on spring street
Im 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 Ill push myself up through the dirt
And shake my petals free
Im 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 thats to say, yeah Im leaving
But I dont have to go there
I dont have to go to (am7)spring street
cause its spring everywhere . . . (fade)
