Through The Spring Lyrics

Sean Watkins Through The Spring

Write me a song I can sing all year long, and that'll send me to sleep
When there's no one beside me that I need, and the trees have all lost their leaves
And keep me alive through the spring

She said it best, didn't sound like the rest, always softly and sweet
In the sunshine I never thought to think, how could I be so naive?
But the spring time, it came and she left

Why should I care, she was never really there, a phantom girl
Or a wolf with the most amazing smile, all the while I thought otherwise
But in the spring she took off her disguise

Well I'll never forget you looking my way
And the time that we spent in the absence of games
And in the month I was gone, the amount that you changed

I need a song to keep me alive through the spring
Keep me alive through the spring
Keep me alive through the spring
