0:19Mother of the Spring
0:22Her branches cradle slipping
0:24Buds yawning open
0:28Welcome by an aging man
0:35He greets them fondly
0:43With memories of when
0:46Her bows were arms that
0:48Held him as a younger man
0:52Together they would marvel at
0:58The birth of Springtime
1:07Now he stands beneath
1:10The apple blossoms
1:13Every year where they
1:15Used to go walking
1:21And he tells Her about
1:23The summer and the autumn
1:26The winter in his heart
1:28And their Apple blossoms
1:39In summer they would dream
1:42Of being three and smile
1:45Imagining how round
1:47As the apples on the ground
1:52That fall
1:54They loved and waited
2:03But winter came too soon
2:07Before their seed could bloom
2:10She wilted from the chill
2:14And all felt cold and still
2:29Now he stands beneath
2:32The apple blossoms
2:33Every year where they
2:37Use to go walking
2:42And he tells Her about
2:45The summer and the autumn
2:47The winter in his heart
2:49And their Apple blossoms
3:00As he opened the
3:01Earth to receive her
3:04He prayed heaven would
3:06Be waiting to meet her
3:09He kisses her cold cheek goodbye
3:14But he couldn't surrender
3:16The hope they had sired
3:19So in her fallen hands
3:22He placed a seed from
3:26Their favorite tree
3:28And he laid her to rest
3:32Beneath the blanket of white
3:34Til they'd meet again
3:37In the springtime
3:50Now he stands beneath
3:53The apple blossoms
3:56Every year where they
3:59Used to go walking
4:09And from above
4:11She's always watching
4:15But her body lies beneath
4:18The apple blossoms
4:25Apple blossoms
4:28Blossom
4:30Blossom
4:34Blossom
4:44Mother of the Spring
4:47Her branches cradle slipping buds
4:50Slowly (they) unopen
4:54'Welcome by an aging man'
4:59He greets them fondly
5:08Fondly
5:17Her branches cradle slipping buds
Mother of the Spring Her branches cradle slipping Buds yawning open Welcome by an aging man He greets them fondly With memories of when Her bows were arms that Held him as a younger man Together they would marvel at The birth of Springtime Now he stands beneath The apple blossoms Every year where they Used to go walking And he tells Her about The summer and the autumn The winter in his heart And their Apple blossoms In summer they would dream Of being three and smile Imagining how round As the apples on the ground That fall They loved and waited But winter came too soon Before their seed could bloom She wilted from the chill And all felt cold and still Now he stands beneath The apple blossoms Every year where they Use to go walking And he tells Her about The summer and the autumn The winter in his heart And their Apple blossoms As he opened the Earth to receive her He prayed heaven would Be waiting to meet her He kisses her cold cheek goodbye But he couldn't surrender The hope they had sired So in her fallen hands He placed a seed from Their favorite tree And he laid her to rest Beneath the blanket of white Til they'd meet again In the springtime Now he stands beneath The apple blossoms Every year where they Used to go walking And from above She's always watching But her body lies beneath The apple blossoms Apple blossoms Blossom Blossom Blossom Mother of the Spring Her branches cradle slipping buds Slowly (they) unopen 'Welcome by an aging man' He greets them fondly Fondly Her branches cradle slipping buds
