Spring - Tift Merritt

Oh, it is a mystery like a lover’s touch, brings a blossom from a winter’s bud

Oh, it is a mystery like my lover’s touch, brings a blossom from a winter’s bud

I’m gonna lose what I came here for, I’m gonna lose everything I love

If only for a minute, just to be alive before I hit the ground right below this

vine

And it’s worth it, it’s worth it

Lay back, baby, time go slow, I feel like honey filled on hope

Tangled in branches, laced beneath the green, oh you never seen skin so clean

And it’s worth it, it’s worth it

Oh, it is a mystery like a lover’s touch, brings a blossom from a winter’s bud

Oh, it is a mystery like my lover’s touch, brings a blossom from a winter’s bud

Stamen and a pistil, hips and joints, all the petals gather and come to a point

Blooming in the branches with all my might, everybody knows what comes after

ripe

Hyacinth and cherry, daffodil, rolling altogether out in the field

And it’s worth it, it’s worth it

Oh, it is a mystery like a lover’s touch, brings a blossom from a winter’s bud

Oh, it is a mystery like my lover’s touch, brings a blossom from a winter’s bud

Wilt and wither with all you have left, beauty is defiance in the face of death

Hard ice on the winter, ashes in the fall, I wonder if there ever was a flower

here at all

But it’s worth it, it’s worth it
