I Wasn't Expecting Spring
The frosted pavements sparkled like diamonds
I was lost in the winter of my discontent
My rattling old bones chilled by the cold
Sad unhappy faces everywhere that I went
There’s a message painted across the sky
A wind of change blows knowingly in the air
The seasons they come and go for a reason
Does anyone on the planet even really care?
What on earth will the future bring ?
Now here's a strange thing
I wasn't expecting Spring
Lent has been spent - It's Easter time
New born lambs in the fields they lay
Children devour their eggs with glee
Believers for the resurrection they pray
Blooming daffodils make me smile
As I dance dizzy under an April shower
Think I might stick around for a while
Oh mother nature you've got the power
Listen to the church bells ring
My heart just wants to sing
I wasn't expecting Spring
