"Another Spring"


Old people talk to themselves 
When they sit all 'round all day 
This old woman I knew
 I used to go over there and sit with her 
And she'd be sitting around In a rocking chair talking to herself 
And she used to say she used to say 
Sometimes the cold gets in my bones so bad 
Till I just don't think I can go on 
Yeah and for a little while well I don't care 
If my days are coming to an end 
And just as soon be gone sometimes 
Sometimes the night comes down on me 
And I know what's ahead An evening in this cold old house 
With no one to say goodnight to me when I go to bed 
An evening in this cold old house 
With no one to say goodnight to me when I go to bed 
Sometimes I wonder why I stay 
What am I waiting for 
My children are grown and gone away 
They got children of their own now 
Don't need me anymore 
In winter when the streets are bare 
There ain't nothing much to see 
I just can't help missing and thinking 
About that kindly man 
That one old winter time came 
And took away from me 
And then one morning 
Another spring is there outside my door 
Things are blooming 
Birds are singing 
And suddenly yes well I ain't sad 
Ain't sad no more ain't sad no more 
When it's warm and the sun is out 
It's like my heart's restored 
I've had my love 
I've had my children 
And I have so many memories 
So don't mind me complaining 
What the years may bring 
Cos this old world has been fine with me really 
And I'm thankful for seeing another spring 
It's gonna be better this time another spring 
It's gonna be groovier this time another spring 
It's what's happening this time 
So I'm thankful for letting me see another spring.
