Summer held us in its thrall
Though we were headed for the fall
Now the chill of winter casts its pall.
Should have felt it from the start
Warm hands told of frozen hearts
On cold feet lost love departs
Long shadows in the hall.
Spring Forward, set the clocks ahead
I don’t want to stay in this cold bed
One hour longer.
Part the curtains, just a crack
Day falls in, I fall back
Dreaming of the new buds growing stronger.
My love once sure as each new day
As each long night will have its way
Then, with each advancing ray
Concede the golden dawn.
When hatred is an act of will
Forgiveness, that’s harder still
I will not have peace until the dark and cold are gone.
Spring Forward, set the clocks ahead
I don’t want to stay in this cold bed
One hour longer.
Part the curtains, just a crack
Day falls in, I fall back
Dreaming of the new buds growing stronger.
Circling round ice with you
Your voice might break through
Daylight saved, hearts won.
Let’s scale the ice, thaw the moats
Leave the house without our coats
Feel the warmth on our bared throats
Faces to the sun.
Spring Forward, set the clocks ahead
I don’t want to stay in this cold bed
One hour longer
Part the curtains, just a crack
Day falls in, I fall back
Dreaming of the new buds growing stronger.
Now I don’t think we’re in winter any longer.
