THE SPRING THAT NEVER WAS
(words and music by E.P. Schwartz)

The sky looked down
on the spring that never was
no one was there
to witness the flowers
the rain washed down
on the spring that never was
all the critters inside
counting the hours

Tiny things brought on
the spring that never was
they scared much bigger things
young and old
Things grew quiet
in the spring that never was
the birds grew loud
and coyotes grew bold

This was the dawning of the
age of a DigitalUs
the moon in the seventh house
was sheltering in place
the wires and the screens
crackled with love and trust
everybody grew accustomed
to everybody's face

Can we take to heart
the spring that never was
the tired part of me
doesn't hold much hope
but I still believe
in the spring that never was
we can defeat the beast
but honor its ghost
