Spring Street Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G
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 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
CHORUS:
And I can't believe what they're saying
They're saying I can change my mind
Start over on Spring Street
I'm 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
Well, 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 scene of a spring green life dream
Take the best part, write it in your caffeine diary
CHORUS:
And I can't believe what they're saying
They're saying I can leave tonight
Start over on Spring Street
I'm welcome anytime_______
INTERLUDE: G
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
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 grey 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, 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
CHORUS:
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________
OUTRO: (## fade to end ##)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
