I'm sorry for what I said when it was winter
The frosty freeze of snow
hardened my heart
and made the ground splinter

I didn't mean for my words
to make you shiver
I didn't mean for my words
to be a reason for you to pickle your liver
but it's spring now,
so thaw out for me dear
The birds are singing all around
just for you to hear

I can see your sullen face starting to crack
with the warm air surrounding you
and the sun at your back
Grass turning to green
and the trees starting to bud
I can't say for certain
but I think I heard your heart make a thud

So while I'm still sorry for the
things that I said when it was winter
I'm hoping you forgive me and let
my absolution come that much quicker
and let the ties that bound us together
become that much thicker
