Stand here on the bridge with me
And look down below
See how high the river is
From all the melting snow

I think the river is laughing
Like a thousand old ladies
Like a thousand silver chimes in the wind

Ah, when spring comes
There's nothing you can hide
Making all your feelings come alive

Frozen toes and tons of clothes in winter time is done
People are like flowers, they blossom in the sun
Open up you flowers, tell us when and we'll follow you

Ah, when spring comes
There's nothing you can hide
Making all your feelings come alive

So you open up your windows and doors
And the sun and the breeze streams across the floors
The river is rising, the birds are returning
The earth is promising love
(Or something like that)
I don't know

Talking with you on the road, I couldn't hear what you said
For there was honking in the heavens honking overhead
But you can't fool me, I know that cars don't fly

Ah, when spring comes
There's nothing you can hide
Making all your feelings come alive

And you feel so different inside that you think that in winter
You must've been barely alive
The river is rising, the birds are returning
The earth is promising love
(Or something like that)
I don't know

I think, I would read my books if they weren't upside down
And I wasn't on the window ledge dropping them on the ground
I think I'll get my bicycle out down the road, I'll sway

Ah, when spring comes
There's nothing you can hide
Making all your feelings come alive

So you open up your windows and doors
And the sun and the breeze streams across the floors
The river is rising, the birds are returning
The earth is promising love
(Or something like that)
I don't know
