Lyrics

Earth Tilted

Green Buds on a willow branch
Robin in a yard
Bright shoots pushing through
All of winter’s scars
I wake up in yellow light
To notes of promised songs
A smile sits so naturally
All day long

The earth tilted just enough
To tip the cold away
The chill around my heart
It melted today
I just fell in love with you again
I just fell in love with you

Sit out on the front stoop
Waiting for a smile
Won’t be long until you’re home
Sliver on the dial
All around me children laugh
Ball dances down the street
Someone’s grilling on the block
All is sweet

Chorus

Sometimes I forget and winter settles in
Sweet is the day . . . that spring awakens

Chorus
