[ti:The Opening Act of Spring] [ar:Frank Turner] [al:] [00:08.34]Oh the birds are ringing in [00:10.30]The opening act of spring [00:12.86]And I have fallen down and I'm so much worse than I have ever been [00:16.92]Oh the season's acting strange [00:19.42]And I know that something has to change [00:21.48]But there is no path I can choose that will not bring somebody pain [00:26.51]Please forgive me for the things that I must do [00:33.41]I have hurt so many people it was never my intention to hurt you [00:52.64]Oh the clouds have gathered thick [00:54.52]And in my stomach I feel sick [00:56.44]And I have all this drive and no idea what I should do with it [01:00.39]But they say there is a calm [01:02.70]After the passing of the storm [01:04.90]So I can dream of going back outside when the rain and thunder's done [01:13.58]Please forgive me for the things that I must do [01:22.19]I have hurt so many people it was never my intention to hurt you [01:29.59]I know the old folks say [01:32.01]They can tell which way the weather's going [01:34.39]Tell which way the wind is blowing [01:38.61]Watching careful for the [01:41.25]Signs among the little thing [01:43.22]The barking dogs, the birds on wing [01:46.87]I am deaf and blind [01:49.79]And I can't say if I can change [01:52.12]Patterns that have caused you pain [01:56.03]Well, I was raised in suburbs [01:58.84]Sheltered from the sun and rain [02:00.96]Far away from subtle season's change [02:12.62]Oh baby I will read [02:13.69]About the buzzing of the bees [02:15.45]About the grass and snakes and spawning lakes and the different types of trees [02:20.22]And I will find a way [02:21.63]That leads from cruel April into May [02:24.46]And someday soon it will be June and you'll decide to stay [02:32.96]Please forgive me for the things that I have done [02:41.81]I will carry your umbrella in the summer and I will save you from the sun
