When Spring Comes
02:01

Snowbanks melt, geese are on the wing
when spring comes, spring comes
Dandelions bloom and robins sing
when spring it does come in
Days are longer, short are the nights
It's time to remove the Christmas lights
oh springtime has come
Trade the storm window for the screen
when spring comes, spring comes
Don't mow the lawn till at least it's green
when spring it does come in
You could work all day till the house is clean
Or lay in a hammock with a magazine
oh springtime has come
You're out in the yard, no coat at all
when spring comes, spring comes
Raking up stuff that you missed last fall
when spring it does come in
Your body aches but the garden's dug
So pour yourself a frosty mug
oh springtime has come
The date on the calendar means it's time
when spring comes, spring comes
But the shadow in February wasn't mine
when spring it does come in
Take your long underwear to the attic in a box
Run naked through the woods on the equinox
oh springtime has come
Oh one more thing before I go
when spring comes, spring comes
When you bid farewell to the wind and snow
when spring it does come in
You can put your scrapers and shovels away
But wait until the end of May
oh springtime has come
What's that I hear? Is it your voice?
when spring comes, spring comes
You can sing along, that's your own choice
when spring it does come in
When you sing along it's much more fun
But it's too late, this song's all done
oh springtime has come

Quiet Night in August

A quiet night in August - not another car on the road
I was somewhere between Raquette and Blue Mountain Lake
With many more miles to go
Driving with the heat on and the window open wide
So the cool of the night could keep me awake
Suddenly the car just died
It's a mystery to me why the car stopped dead in its tracks
And sat beside the road like a stone
So I grabbed my guitar and pack
Nothing looked familiar as I walked into the night
Looking for a ride or a telephone
That's when I saw the light
A candle in the window of a cabin in the woods
As I walked toward the porch the door opened up
By a woman whose face was good
I asked her my questions, she answered she had no phone
Then told me to rest and gave me a cup
And said, "Make yourself at home"
It might have been the drink or driving too long
But the rest of that night was like a trance
With stories and with songs
We pictured all the places that the other hadn't gone
Till the music and the words began to dance
They danced into the dawn
*Oh the hours that we spent were filled with stories
And the magic of those stores filled the air
It opened my eyes and made me realize:
You can hear spirits breathing
When you believe words are weaving our lives
That woman cast a spell with all the stories she could tell
And she said, "Stories keep the kingdom well"
It was on a quiet morning that didn't feel quite real
I thought to myself - nothing's what it seems
As I awoke behind the wheel
The engine started right away when I turned the key
I know you're probably thinking - it was a dream
But I believe it happened to me
Sometimes when I'm driving between Raquette and Blue Mountain Lake
Or sometimes at the end of the day
When I'm half awake
I remember every story she told - I can even hear her
And you know that August morning when I drove away?
I saw her in the rear view mirror
