Spring of the Following Year
RON SEXSMITH
Where will it lead?
The spring of the following year
After the winter has fled from our bones
The only thing I know for sure
Is that I will love you even more
Even more
What will it bring?
The spring of the following year
Will there be flowers to shower our hearts?
With vines that climb around our door?
And will you love me even more?
Yes, even more
For love is our city on the hill
And don’t it seem pretty from our window sill
What birds will sing?
In the spring of the following year
Will there be new birds with words from above?
Guess no one really knows for sure
But I will love you even more
Even more
