Spring Cleaning

Amy's got a baby in her stomach, she took my hand and I felt it kick
So she's crying and glowing, she's three months and showing
Seeing her now makes me want to live
But her man's got an angry mouth, he once told me to rot in hell
He's poisonous, reasonless, demons and Jesus, if he died it'd be just as well
So I'm having it out with the rain
It argues so long and so loud
It keeps tapping and talking we're walking forever on First Avenue headed south
And all the traffic lights blur into a bright bouquet
My heart is in mothballs, it's been packed away, and I can't get to it, no way
Until the birds return for spring cleaning
All the traffic lights blur into a bright bouquet
I wish I could just turn and walk away, but I can't do it, no way
Until the birds return for spring cleaning
