Chicago Spring

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The seeds for place and time don't grow on fields like mine We leave it all behind with a young, bittersweet goodbye I, I, but I need it, I want it I can't live without it I'll hurt it, I'll fix it, and I'll worship and doubt it It's all bittersweet goodbyes [Chorus] Until the first light of my soul's Chicago spring First light, a sliver that shines and the coldest heart sings [Verse 2] They cut the leaves for powerlines each season Like new ideas to dollar signs, you'll have to cut me up every time Oh, because the store brand is better than simply nothing at all When the fire needs its starter I'll take the store brand of my burning love [Chorus] Until the first light of my soul's Chicago spring First light, a sliver that shines and the coldest heart sings [Bridge] Unforgiving, indifferent, it shines It brings dust in the corners to life Unforgiving, indifferent, it shines It brings dust in the corners to life To life, to life [Chorus] Until the first light Give up the last lie Until the first light Of my soul's Chicago spring Of my soul's Chicago spring First light, a sliver that shines and the coldest heart sings [Outro] It's a bitter and sweet goodbye but we're overdue for first light First light Of my soul's Chicago spring
