Spring Street Lyrics

I'm sorry that I left you
With your questions all alone
But I was too happy driving
And too angry to drive homeI 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 anytimeWell 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 themI 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
They're 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 hairBut 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 riverAnd 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...
