lyrics

The trees don’t know it isn’t spring
And no one knows you love me like you do
The birds went off their winter wing
They’ll never leave a sky when it’s so blue

I’ve been holding my joy in a hand behind my back
And I’m not sorry for the freeze or frost this winter lacked
The changing of the clocks, the gaining of the time
The breaking of the box, the drawing of the line

The swallows only sing the summer long
And leaves will turn to ochre in the fall
They let themselves be drawn toward the ground
For there’s nothing sad in changing after all

I’ve been holding my hope in a hand behind my back
And I’m not sorry for going out the door and never coming back
The changing of the locks, the gaining of the time
The breaking of the box, the drawing of the line
