Dar Williams Spring Street Lyrics

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 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
