Patti Ecker: Listen
Not Really Spring
(Patti Ecker)
words and music Patti Ecker
Not Really Spring
I feel the sunlight on my skin
The earth is soft and wet’
The heat’s been slowly comin’ in
Since the day we met.
I hear so many robins sing
But it’s not really Spring
The wild geese don’t know what to do
Within the sanctuary
They think that Wintertime is through
It still is January
My heart beats with the hope you bring
But it’s not really Spring
Bridge:
A cold wind blows through the night
Moaning low
The bud will freeze on the vine
The flower will not grow
A raven brushed against my lips
But he had a broken wing
I know it isn’t really Spring
Bridge:
Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
A promise lingers in the air
But it doesn’t mean a thing
I know… it isn’t really Spring
