Snowing In April Pearl S
It�s snowing in April
I thought it was all through by now
I thought things were brand new by now
I thought I was a person changed
Tell me, tell me, why is my life the same?
It�s snowing in April
I told myself a million lies
I said it would be different this time
Break out the shorts and summer hats
We�ll swim tomorrow
Play on the swings day after that�
April showers bring May flower
What April snow brings no one knows
All I know is I watched from my window
As the green grass withered and the tree buds froze.
And woe to the na�ve little blue jays
Who thought it might be safe to return today
All I can say is it�s such a waste
And I guess nothing will grow here
This May.
It�s snowing in April
I just got to thinking that I would survive
I just got to feeling complacent inside
The smile is still frozen on my face
In less than a minute you�ve put me back in my place
You�ve put me back in my chains
April showers bring May flower
What April snow brings no one knows
All I know is I watched from my window
As the green grass withered and the tree buds froze.
And woe to the na�ve little blue jays
Who thought it might be safe to return today
All I can say is it�s such a waste
And I guess nothing will grow here
This May.
When did laughter warrant punishment
When did hope become a sin
Is it too much to let me keep my dreams?
I was happy in my self-delusion
But you think truth�s the only solution
Killing me with reality
Freezing my heart, the only part of me that dreams
The only part of me that�s real,
With your cold and empty words�
April showers bring May flowers
What April snow brings no one knows
All I know is I watched terrified from the inside
While all my hopes and day-dreams froze
And woe to a na�ve little girl
Who grew content in this cruel ugly world
All I can say is it�s not ok
And nothing will grow in me
Again
