Lyrics
Click a line to jump near it in the song.
The thaw came first, like always.
Then the green. Then the birds.
Then the old fear, right on schedule,
walking up the road inside us.
Nobody said the word.
Everybody watched the bend in the road.
A whole field of heads up —
we learned that much, at least.
Listening. Listening.
Listen—
Nothing came.
The road stayed empty, the grass grew over —
NOTHING CAME.
Nothing came (nothing came)
and everything stayed.
and we are all still here.
We stood at the fence line out of habit.
We counted heads out of habit.
We waited for the sound out of habit,
and the habit broke like ice.
Spring is just spring now.
Spring is just spring.
