Píseň: Spring

Interpret:
Tracy Chapman
Album:
Our Bright Future
There's a cloud
There's a cloud
A blue sky darkening
That veils the light of the sun
And foretells the rain
But there's a bird
There are birds
And some are singing


To greet every new day that may come
Like the first of spring


It is cold
It is cold
I've had the feeling
At the heart and in the core
The roots of all things
But there's a bud there's a bulb
It will be blooming


To greet every new day that may come
Like the first of spring


It's late
It's late
As I watch waiting
It will go turn away
The cycle cycling
There's a face with new eyes
A baby crying


Who'll greet every new day that may come
Like the first of spring


Like the first of spring
