Goodbye to Spring

Lay, and put your weary soul to rest
Yeah, I will try to do my best to keep you safe inside this nest
And keep the gravity from pulling you to earth

I'd like to say this gets more clear, when it's more cloudy every day
But summer's gonna come and burn the stormy clouds and all the doubt away

Sleep, little girl, 'cause when you wake it's gonna be a different world
So close your eyes and say goodbye to spring

It's true, this spring is coming to an end
You're not that fragile anymore, I know what's there behind that door
And it's just waiting in the wings to pull you in

I know you think you're safe in here, inside these insulated walls
But I can't hold this house together, not forever, yeah and soon it's gonna fall

Sleep, little girl, 'cause when you wake it's gonna be a different world
Everything will change, everything will change
This door's slamming shut, it's gonna catch you if you're ready or you're not
So close your eyes and say goodbye to spring

Slow down, 'cause winter's just around the bend
Don't make a sound, and close your eyes and say goodbye, yeah

Sleep, little girl, 'cause when you wake it's gonna be a different world
Everything will change, everything will change
This door's slamming shut, it's gonna catch you if you're ready or you're not
So close your eyes and say goodbye to spring
