Beautiful Spring (Original)

[Verse 1] Steam on the window Mug in my hands Still cold You pull back the curtains Say “Look The world grew overnight” Brown yard Little green stitches Threading through the thawing ground A robin on the mailbox Practicing a brand-new sound [Chorus] Here come the first blossoms on the breeze Tiny pink flags in the old bare trees Winter finally loosens at the seams As the light runs wild across the streams Every breath feels easy Wide And clean That’s the quiet beauty of the spring [Verse 2] Sidewalk chalk on the driveway Spelling crooked secret names Kids with mismatched jackets Racing raindrops down the panes You plant herbs in chipped teacups Dirt under wedding rings Laugh when the rain starts falling Say “Let’s see what tomorrow brings” [Chorus] Here come the first blossoms on the breeze Tiny pink flags in the old bare trees Winter finally loosens at the seams As the light runs wild across the streams Every breath feels easy Wide And clean That’s the quiet beauty of the spring [Bridge] Hands in the soil Heart in the sky (oh) Every small color Feels like a sign Even the cracks in the sidewalk shine [Chorus] Here come the first blossoms on the breeze Tiny pink flags in the old bare trees Winter finally loosens at the seams As the light runs wild across the streams Every breath feels easy Wide And clean That’s the quiet beauty of the spring
