Avett Brothers A Fathers First Spring
Sweetest surrender of winter
She put up her flag, it is waving
The thunder of summer is rumbling in
And I haven't seen you in days
And my, how that feeling has changed
Oh, I have been homesick for you since we met
I have been homesick for you
I've got to take to the sky
And I'll tell you what that means for you and I
If I die it's for you
If I die it's for you
I never lived 'til I lived in your light
And my heart never beat like it does at the sight
Of you baby blue, God blessed your life
I do not live 'less I live in your light
I do not live 'less I live in your light
The realest thing I ever felt
Was the blood on the floor and the love in your yell
I was a child before
The day that I met Eleanor
Kiss of the wind in the hills
The clearness of morning, the late evening thrill
Blurry and gray like the roar
The wheels on the highway, above them I soar
When I'm in the sweet daughter's eyes
My heart is now ruined for the rest of all time
There's no part of it left to give
There's no part of it left to give
I never lived 'til I lived in your light
And my heart never beat like it does at the sight
Of you baby blue, God blessed your life
I do not live 'less I live in your light
I do not live 'less I live in your light
I do not live
