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 amendsCan 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 youAnd I can't believe what they're saying

They're saying I can change my mind

Start over on Spring Street, I'm welcome anytimeThere 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 insideYeah, 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 diaryAnd I can't believe what they're saying

Theyre saying I can leave tonight

Start over on Spring Street, I'm welcome anytimeThis 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 braveryYeah 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, yeahAnd 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
