about

written by steve sellors

we tried to record this song with a lot of space in it, to let you hear the instruments at work.

it's about a late coming spring; there's a deeper meaning as well, but it's the songwriter's secret.

lyrics

Spring © steve sellors

I thought I heard a singing in my marrow
The weeds of hope were choking out the sorrow
Winter ended; spring time came
There was no sun; there was no rain

I waited for the wheeling of the swallow
The winter wind stayed cold and hard and hollow
The shingles fed the south winds teeth
The blackest birds ate the finest seed

The sky is cold and only growing colder
The mourning dove holds snow upon her shoulder
Springtime promised; springtime lied
The holy well is all but dry

I thought I heard a singing in my marrow
The weeds of hope were choking out the sorrow
Springtime ended; summer came
Autumn, winter, spring again.
