Delaney Gustafson - Spring (Live Version)

The first bloom in frost appeared
I cried when first I saw you
And prayed this wasn't real
Like snowdrifts a cold front
Deepened and grew
As sacred as I ever knew
No mockingbird would sing
There was no mama and no diamond ring
Just hope for sleep away from winter's sting
You and me
Moon blue and waning in the lonely longing for spring
My soul has soaked in such ache
But growing will take sunshine
And wind-strength and the rain
So now I abide
Until you arrive
And the spring inside me comes alive
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Born again with wings
A many-colored coat of dreams
Emerges from beneath the ice-sewn seams
Waiting patiently, I hope for hope of anything
That February's shadow still sends spring
Uncertainty still thundering
The end is almost here
I spent a long time wondering
Why did you have to go, my dear
Where did you go
I love you so
My heart's braver half confides
Winter haunts my bones but
The spring has arrived
I shiver as lyrics of love fill my lungs
And the labor of seasons comes
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Lullaby, blossom divine
No cradle will drop you tonight
You, me
And sweet beginnings in the hallowed haven of spring
In the hallowed haven of spring
