Tekstovi: Dar Williams. Many Great Companions. 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 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

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

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 scene 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 can leave tonight
Start over on Spring Street, I'm 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 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, 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
