[Verse 1] The 8-story giant rises so high Cutting its teeth on the New York sky But down in the hollow in the Oval Park's grace The earth is revealing a different face The tulip seedlings awake from below Breaking the surface starting to grow [Chorus] They raise their heads they've found the light Garden of tulips burning so bright The ancient trees stand tall and bare Shaking their limbs in the morning air In the heart of the city where the shadows belong Spring has arrived with a silent song (Oh-oh-oh-oh) [Verse 2] My window is full of the morning's play Masses of sun and the shadows of gray They dance on the matted hair of the leaves Tangled in secrets the sunlight weaves While on the dry branches so quiet and deep The white cherry blossoms are dreaming in sleep [Chorus] Oh take your seat your throne of green Between the high walls and the life in between Take your place where the brick meets the blue Beautiful spring we've been waiting for you It's waking the soul It's stirring the ink Bringing the poet right back from the brink They've raised their heads they've found the light Garden of tulips burning so bright The ancient trees stand tall and bare Shaking their limbs in the morning air In the heart of the city where the shadows belong Spring has arrived with a silent song (Oh-oh-oh-oh) [Bridge] It's waking the soul It's stirring the ink Bringing the poet right back from the brink They've raised their heads they've found the light Garden of tulips burning so bright The ancient trees stand tall and bare Shaking their limbs in the morning air In the heart of the city where the shadows belong Spring has arrived with a silent song (Oh-oh-oh-oh) [Outro] On the poet's heart On every leaf Spring raises its head Bringing relief A garden of tulips A city in bloom Happy spring Happy spring
