The Beautiful Not Yet Lyrics

Carrie Newcomer The Beautiful Not Yet

Spring is humming
Bits of something
A melody the simple part
A song that I once knew by heart

Juniper, wild indigo
Foxglove, lupine, Queen Ann's lace
Will be coming any day

The restlessness
The quickening
The almost but
Not yet

Muddy boots, last year's leaves
Every spring that came before
All they were and something more

The restlessness
The quickening
The almost but
Not yet

Do you see, do you see, do you see it
Take a breath
Oh, the restlessness
The beautiful not yet

There's a stirring
There's sweetness
At the edge of in between
I feel it nearly trembling

The restlessness
The quickening
The almost but
Not yet
