A Father's First Spring lyrics - The Avett Brothers

The sweetest surrender of winter

She put up a flag it is waving

The thunder of summer is rumbling in.

And I haven't seen you in days.

And my how that feeling has changed.

Oh I have been homesick for you since we met.

I have been homesick for you.

I've got to take to the sky.

And I'll tell you what that means for you and I,

If I die it's for you.

If I die it's for you.

I never lived til I lived in your light

And my heart never beat like it does at the sight

Of you baby blue, God blessed your life.

I do not live 'less I live in your life.

I do not live 'less I live in your life.

The realest thing I ever felt

Was the blood on the floor and the love in your yell.

I was a child before

The day that I met Eleanor.

Kiss of the wind in the hills,

The clearness, the morning, the late evening thrill

Blurry and grey like the roar

The wheels on the highway above them I soar.

When I'm in my sweet daughter's eyes

My heart is now ruined for the rest of all times

There's no part of it left to give.

There's no part of it left to give.

I never lived til I lived in your light

And my heart never beat like it does at the sight

Of you baby blue, God blessed your life.

I do not live 'less I live in your life.

I do not live 'less I live in your life.

I do not live
