Springtime in the country Each time I'm shocked by the light The world lying fallow and you are apart from me Everything in my vision is movement and life Riverboat, wheelbarrow, wildflower and barley Springtime in the country, I can smell summer on its breath Low and harrowed lie the fields and the heart of me Everything in my vision, departure and death Riverboat, wheelbarrow, wildflower and barley This year will be buried in actions (The healers are healing) This year will be buried in words (The diggers are digging the earth) Some close to the surface, some close to the casket (With each moment we're stealing) I feel as useful as dirt Put my body to work Springtime in the city, the canal banks are empty again The grass crying out to be heated by bodies The streets for the laughter of young women and men Canal boat and trolley, wildflower and barley Springtime from my window Another month has not much longer now The sun hesitates more at each evening's darkening Letras de cancionesWith all things God allows remain above ground Like grief and sweet memory Wildflower and barley See Hozier Live Get tickets as low as $44 This year will be buried in actions (The healers are healing) This year will be buried in words (The diggers are digging the earth) Some close to the surface, some close to the casket (With each moment we're stealing) From Letras Mania
