Early Spring Lyrics

The pictures that you paint
Aren't as pretty as they once seemed to me
And the coffee's bitter because it's been boiling too long
And the jokes you tell
Aren't as funny as they once seemed to me
And the songs you sing are just plain hackneyed
But the stars shine down on all god's children
And the sun sets on the good and on the evil
And I know you
And I know you


The throbbing flowers outside I get it
And the paint peeling from the bathroom wall
And the smile on your face is alive
And the smile on your face is real pretty
And the sun shines down on all god's children
And the stars burn for the good and the evil
And I know you
And I know you
