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
  
   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
   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
  
   And that's to say, yeah I'm leaving
   But I don't have to go there
   I don't have to go to (Am7)Spring Street
   'Cause it's spring everywhere . . . (fade)
