Sean Watkins Lyrics
"Through the Spring"

Write me a song I can sing all year long
And that'll send me to sleep
When there's no one beside me that I need
And the trees have all lost their leaves
And keep me alive through the spring.

She said it best, didn't sound like the rest
Always softly and sweet
In the sunshine I never thought to think
How could I be so naive?
But the spring time, it came and she left.

Why should I care, she was never really there
A phantom girl
Or a wolf with the most amazing smile
All the while I thought otherwise
But in the spring she took off her disguise.

Well, I'll never forget you looking my way
And the time that we spent in the absence of games
And in the month I was gone
The amount that you changed.

I need a song to keep me alive through the spring
Keep me alive through the spring.

Keep me alive through the spring...
