The Crocus Lyrics

Some twenty-five years ago

My mother told me that I would catch cold

On my jacket, barely closed

Out the door for the last flakes of snow

And in that snow

If I prey tell

There were such blossoms

I knew so well

That flower I loved

I did behold

And I knew with such neighbors

It would be cold

So I scooped up some snow

With shoveled hands

Barely larger than my mortal plans

I cleared the way

Or so I thought

But those petaled friends wouldn't stay for long

I sang a song

I sang them a song

I begged and I pleaded all day long

Oh how I mourned

When my friends did leave

Ne'er a farewell I did receive

Ne'er a farewell I did receive

Till springtime next

I'd wait for thee

Crocuses popping through

Unsteady till I found you

Colorful baby blooms

I've been waiting all winter

Waiting all winter

Waiting all winter

Waiting all winter
