Spring, and still
Leaves have not all fallen from the trees;
Holding hands and skipping
Stones across the river;
Flowers open
Wider than I've ever seen;
You can see them too,
If you hurry—
You can see them too,
If you come back to me.
Spiral bound
The pages that you wrote to me;
In between the letters lies
A secret that I'm meant to see;
It has been a season
Since I have seen the sea,
But we can go there soon,
If you hurry—
We can go there soon,
If you come back to me.
When I sit and sip my tea,
You're facing me...
You: a day, a month, a year ago—
It's all the same to me.
On every bus I see
On every street I see
In every passing pair of shoes
I see...
You.
You can see me too,
If you hurry...
You can see me too,
If you come back...
