lyric

i love music. and i love great lyrics. i have not heard this song, but i like the lyrics, so here they are:

springtime indiana
you are sleeping by my side
here across the miles we ramble
past where the road divides
i wish i could tell you…but i just can’t find the words

i’ve never been good with my thoughts
and even worse with my words
but you read like familiar poetry
that i have never heard
i wish i could tell you…but i just can’t find the words

so let’s move across the ocean
and pitch the tent stakes wide
you be the one to come after me
and i will be your bride
i wish i could tell you…but i just can’t find the words

i am all at once courageous
i am all at once afraid
it came over me like nightfall
like a freight train
i can’t seem to hold it in
but i can’t seem to run away

you came in without notice
and settled all around my heart
took up residence in all the places
that were vacant and dark
i wish i could tell you…but i just can’t find the words

springtime indiana
you are starting to wake
and i am laden with the thoughts
of everything i mean to say
i wish I could tell you...but I just can’t find the words
- Sandra McCracken, "Springtime Indiana"
