She was always lovely in the spring
The sunlit hollows of her face
We would walk the treelined waterways
The humming flower roads, and the gentle brick lanes
I just loved those easy, drifting days
Of quiet springtime wandering
I remember she was standing framed against the rain
And it took my breath away
If she had stayed
Just for a day
We would spend it in the sunshine
And I know
Her love would come crashing
Down on me
She was always lovely in the spring
She liked to be a mystery
She would disappear for days
And then you'd find her, waiting for you
I could never keep her in one place
Her heart was always wandering
Every time she felt me pull away
She'd come running back my way
If she had stayed
Just for a day
We would spend it in the sunshine
And I know
Her love would come crashing
Down on me
It's been a little while since the spring
And now the snowdrifts line my street
In the quiet moments she comes to me
When I'm walking home, or drifting to sleep
Out there in the world somewhere
How's she living, is she well?
Do you think that life is good enough?
It could bring her back to me?
If she had stayed
Just for a day
We would spend it in the sunshine
And I know
Her love would come crashing
Down on me
