You Can Never Hold Back Spring

It's been a grey and rainy day, but the daffodils don't look too fussed. They're coming into bloom quite nicely here in the castle grounds, hopefully signalling a decent spring and summer to come. This is one of the best places around to plonk yourself with some food and a good book when the weather's warm, and I honestly can't wait for the chance to do just that.

I think it's time for some Tom Waits. But then, it's always time for some Tom Waits as far as I'm concerned.


You can never hold back spring
You can be sure that I will never stop believing
The blushing rose will climb
Spring ahead or fall behind
Winter dreams the same dream
Every time

You can never hold back spring
Even though you've lost your way
The world keeps dreaming of spring

So close your eyes
Open your heart
To one who's dreaming of you
You can never hold back spring

Remember everything that spring can bring
You can never hold back spring
