Michael Franks - Why Spring ain’t Here (song video)
Michael Franks - Barefoot On The Beach (Windham Hill, 1999)
8. Why Spring ain’t Here
Never knew the point of No Return til I crossed it
Never knew there could be Love Supreme til I lost it
Playing solo seemed ultra-cool -- now it’s clear
Our mid-winter goodbye must be why
Spring ain’t here
Buds unopening refuse to bloom in low pressure
I feel like the man who lost the map to his treasure
Will the notes that I sing ever stop turning blue?
I’m unsprung like the Spring in the absence of you
Increasingly, I start to see
Why Spring ain’t here
A wiser man, I understand
Why Spring Ain’t here
Wintertime just won’t break, like the calendar’s rusted
Where is April and May, is the equinox busted?
My mistake was in letting you disappear
Our French film-like goodbye must be why
Spring ain’t here
Increasingly, I start to see why
Spring ain’t here
I can’t demote my overcoat cause
Spring ain’t here
I still am seen in cause
Spring ain’t here
Turn up this song and don’t be Iong....
Make Spring be here
