Spring Thief

Crossing through the bridge sitting high Scattered through the clouds, peeking out was the blue sky Nothing but the sweltering heat So I'm waiting here for any sign of a breeze And in the shade of the trees It softly tickles my cheek The falling blossoms above are all I can see We're floating gently now, breathless as we flutter down I can't bear to lose this view Today the past will catch up to us at last I pray the wind takes us soon That's why we're speechless now, words are taken from our mouths I can't bear to part from you Simply falling from sun-covered skies Spring is storming now, petals flying high Meeting up again, our usual place Visiting the flowers alone on this warm day Where's the scent of spring I hold, oh, so dear? Wonder if the summer's returning this year (hm?) Crossing by the bridge sitting high Just beyond the road, peeking out was your bright smile Wondering how long is left 'til it's gone Just how many springs can we both look upon? From hills rolled over the stream (ooh-ooh) And in the shade of the trees (uuh-uuh) As always blooming above the spring covers me With flowers floating now, breathless as we flutter down I can't bear to lose this view There's no mistaking how this storm of flowers blown about Is really the spring thief we knew The wind is blowing now, time is flowing all around I can't bear to lift my shoes Peeking in from the petals, the sky Still the storm goes on, petals flying high Today I'll meet up with you Enjoy the shade in the blue With sighs of worrying too The flowers no longer bloom Again I'll meet up with you The spring's departing too soon The little time we have left is trickling to rest And filled with love, just plain words can't be enough It's too much to rhyme this tune 'Bout this blooming spring, without the words for everything I hope this song reaches you We're floating gently now, words are taken from our mouths I can't bear to lose this view Just the two of us, spring-covered eyes Keep on storming now, petals flying high Just a handful of flowers to go Keeping count of the flowers that go Only two little flowers to go Only one single flower to go Only leaves bare of flowers are shown Still so much to say, spring has blown away
