FIRST SIGNS OF SPRING

The first signs of spring, buds showing on the trees
Standing on the back porch, facing the warmth from the breeze
I begged her not to go, til the ground was dry
She said, I told you I'm leaving, at the first signs of spring

On the first day of May, I got a postcard in the mail
Read: Don't worry about me baby, I taking good care of myself
It was postmarked in Dallas, but I know how it goes
A truck driver could have mailed it, for all I know

1st Chorus
It was late in the winter when, she confessed to me
She was not happy with her life
Said it's not your fault, believe it or not
I still want to be your wife
But I'm leaving...........at the first signs of spring

Come the first of July, ain't heard from her in months
Went to see her Mama, put fresh flowers on her grave
That stone might have answers, she was the roaming kind
If this drags on much longer, I'll lose my mind

2nd Chorus
By the first of December, it was clear by then
She ain't coming back, says all my friends
I know it's not my fault, believe it or not
I I'll still take her back, no matter what
Can't believe she's been gone..since the first signs of spring
