When Spring Comes Lyrics - Jane Siberry

Stand here on the bridge with me 

And look down below 

See how high the river is 

From all the melting snow 

I think the river is laughing 

Like a thousand old ladies 

Like a thousand silver chimes in the wind 

Ah, when spring comes 

There's nothing you can hide 

Making all your feelings come alive 

Frozen toes and tons of clothes in winter time is done 

People are like flowers, they blossom in the sun 

Open up you flowers, tell us when and we'll follow you 

Ah, when spring comes 

There's nothing you can hide 

Making all your feelings come alive 

So you open up your windows and doors 

And the sun and the breeze streams across the floors 

The river is rising, the birds are returning 

The earth is promising love 

(Or something like that) 

I don't know 

Talking with you on the road, I couldn't hear what you said 

For there was honking in the heavens honking overhead 

But you can't fool me, I know that cars don't fly 

Ah, when spring comes 

There's nothing you can hide 

Making all your feelings come alive 

And you feel so different inside that you think that in winter 

You must've been barely alive 

The river is rising, the birds are returning 

The earth is promising love 

(Or something like that) 

I don't know 

I think, I would read my books if they weren't upside down 

And I wasn't on the window ledge dropping them on the ground 

I think I'll get my bicycle out down the road, I'll sway 

Ah, when spring comes 

There's nothing you can hide 

Making all your feelings come alive 

So you open up your windows and doors 

And the sun and the breeze streams across the floors 

The river is rising, the birds are returning 

The earth is promising love 

(Or something like that) 

I don't know
