I should plow the land And wait around for spring to come I should put the seed into the ground And wait for spring to come The day lies frozen on our patch I've got a fire going That scar you have is not as red Spring will return it always has I should dig my hands into the dirt And wait for spring to come Let's make the scarecrow a new shirt And wait for spring to come Soon you'll wear your summer dress Although it isn't showing There's something growing from the ash Spring will return it always has And bring the blue sky back Spring will return it always has Spring will return it always has Spring will return it always has Spring will return it always has The next cold day may be the last Spring will return it always has Last year's crows rebuild their clumsy nest And you will see we've got the greener grass
