Another Spring

Old people talk to themselvesWhen they sit all 'round all dayThis old woman I knewI used to go over there and sit with herAnd she'd be sitting aroundIn a rocking chair talking to herselfAnd she used to say she used to saySometimes the cold gets in my bones so badTill I just don't think I can goYeah and for a little while well I don't careIf my days are coming to an endAnd just as soon be gone sometimesSometimes the night comes down on meAnd I know what's aheadAn evening in this cold old houseWith no one to say goodnight to me when I go to bedAn evening in this cold old houseWith no one to say goodnight to me when I go to bedSometimesI wonder why I stayWhat am I waiting forMy children are grown and gone awayThey got children of their own nowDon't need me anymoreIn winter when the streets are bareThere ain't nothing much to seeI just can't help missing and thinkingAbout that kindly manThat one old winter time cameAnd took away from meAnd then one morningAnother spring is there outside my doorThings are bloomingBirds are singingAnd suddenly yes well I ain't sadAin't sad no more ain't sad no moreWhen it's warm and the sun is outIt's like my heart's restoredI've had my love I've had my childrenAnd I have so many memoriesSo don't mind me complainingWhat the years may bringCos this old world has been fine with me reallyAnd I'm thankful for seeing another springIt's gonna be better this time another springIt's gonna be groovier this time another springIt's what's happening this timeSo I'm thankful for letting me see another spring
