Josh Ritter - Snow Is Gone

birds beneath my window dustying their wings upon the lawn 


Hear 'em in the morning light a last amen to a migratory song 


they’re never looking round for me—their eyes are on the sky or the ground below 


I’d rather be the one who loves than to be loved and never even know 





hello blackbird 


hello starling 


winter’s over 


be my darling 


a long time coming 


but now the snow is gone x 2 





you were beautiful when I first saw your feathers and confectionery airs 


the earth lit up and promised you the stars but you really didn’t care 


I sang in exultation i pulled the stops—you always looked a little bored 


I’m singing for the love of it—have mercy on the man who sings to be adored 





hello blackbird 


hello starling 


winter’s over 


be my darling 


long time coming 


but now the snow is gone 





I’m underneath your window now—it’s long after the birds have gone to roost 


I’m not sure if I’m singing for the love of it or for the love of you 


I’ve flown a long way honey oh hear my confession then I’ll go 


I’d rather be the one who loves than to be loved and never even know 





hello brown one 


hello blue one 


last night’s feathers 


exchanged for new ones 





hello blackbird 


hello starling 


winter’s over 


be my darling 





long time coming 


but now the snow is gone x 2 





so long.....
