Wendy Wall - Back in April lyrics

Back in April Back in April the wind was like gentle hands lifting up strands of my hair On the boulevard ladies and gentlemen seemingly float through the air Very dreamlike the cherry trees blossoming seemed so impossibly there You and me, underneath cherry trees back in April There we lay our heads down where we were With our backs to the green, and the earth Back in April, back in the heart of a long winter's end Yeah, there we lay down our arms, as we do See the seasons they change, me and you And so we were, and everything was young and new again A numbing winter, a cold unrelenting wind stripped us of all we might feel Back in April we walked through the tulips, I kneeled to make sure they were real Very dreamlike the scope and intensity colors too vivid to bear You and me we were under the trees back in April There we lay our heads down where we were With our backs to the green, and the earth Back in April, back in the heart of a long winter's end Yeah, there we lay down our arms, as we do See the seasons they change, me and you And so we were, and everything was young and new again Back in April the maples were sheltering, welcoming under the fold Hosting our tales and stories of wind and the wail of the bone cold Deep in August life bathing in summer sun's washed winter memories clean In the warmth here our limbs loosed we're lulled to believing all is as it seems The greening of willow, the shock of forsythia, seems like a faraway dream Oh, but how we loved the sycamore trees back in April There we lay our heads down where we were With our backs to the green, and the earth Back in April, back in the heart of a long winter's end Yeah, there we lay down our arms, as we do See the seasons they changed, me and you And so we were, and everything was young and new again And so we were and everything was young and new again all lyrics copyright Wendy Wall 2011 all rights reserved
