Spring River

SPRING RIVER

I can't tell anyone what's on my mind
Blossoming magnolia tree leaves winter far behind
I don't know who you are or why you caught my eye
Standing on the muddy banks spring river waters rise

Day light savings time
I have written wrongs reprise
Spring river waters rise again
Coursing the old ravines

Flood crested 20 feet 30 years ago
Buildings bear the lines, scars left from the storm
Headlights cut the fog I probably shouldn't drive
Shadows of the rain run softly from my eyes

Guess we're do again
It's been such a long time
Mountain snow shed like tears
Dredge up the water line

I can't tell anyone what's on my mind
Blossoming magnolia tree leaves winter far behind
I don't know who you are or why you caught my eye
Standing on the muddy banks spring river waters rise
