It's Spring
Blooms of Renewal: Stephen Pickering's Serenade to Spring Dreams
Lyrics
It's Spring
Expressing the season of Spring.
And I like to dream
Expressing a fondness for daydreaming during Spring.
It's Spring
Reiteration of the arrival of Spring.
Laying 'neath the trees
Describing a scene of relaxation beneath the trees.
You've got old winter walking
Personifying winter as if it's a person walking away.
Birds and bees talking again.
Highlighting the return of natural sounds and activities associated with Spring.
You've got blue sky and sunshine
Listing various pleasant Spring elements like blue sky and sunshine.
Creek beds and moonlight sparkling.
Depicting serene scenes with creek beds and moonlight.
'Cuz it's Spring
Connecting personal enjoyment to the season of Spring.
And I like to dream
Reiterating the joy of dreaming during Spring.
Yeah it's spring
Repetition of the assertion of Spring and its associated activities.
Laying 'neath the trees
Reiterating the peacefulness of being under the trees during Spring.
You ask me what do I want
Prompting a question about desires or preferences.
And I say this is what I want to do
Expressing a desire for simple, enjoyable activities.
Wade in the creek swimming
Describing an idyllic moment of wading in a creek and daydreaming.
Lay asleep dreaming all afternoon
Emphasizing the leisurely nature of Spring afternoons.
'Cuz it's Spring
Affirming the continued celebration of Spring.
Redbuds are blossoming
Observing the blossoming of redbuds, a Spring flower.
Yeah it's Spring
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of Spring.
Down by the creek
Locating the scene near a creek.
That sweet water's running
Noting the flowing water in the creek.
But it ain't got no money to spend
Indicating a lack of material wealth associated with the creek.
It's silver hair is rippling
Describing the appearance of the creek's water.
I see a lonesome doe sipping around the bend
Observing wildlife, specifically a doe, near the creek.
I pick up my old six string
Mentioning picking up a guitar.
And think of following her in.
Contemplating following the doe with a musical accompaniment.
Cuz it's Spring
Reaffirming the season of Spring and its association with dreams.
And I'm like to dream
Expressing a personal connection to dreaming during Spring.
Yeah it's spring
Reiteration of the joy of Spring dreaming.
Laying 'neath the trees
Reiterating the peacefulness of being under the trees during Spring.
I went to the Mississippi
Relating a visit to the Mississippi River.
Thought I heard an old bluesman riffing on his dream
Imagining hearing a blues musician expressing their dreams.
I went to the Mississippi
Repetition of the visit to the Mississippi and encountering a bluesman.
Thought I saw an old bluesman drifting down the stream
Imagining seeing a blues musician drifting down the stream.
I picked up my old six string
Returning to the motif of picking up a guitar.
And thought of following him in.
Contemplating following the drifting bluesman with music.
Cuz it's Spring
Reaffirming the celebration of Spring with the blossoming of redbuds.
Redbuds are blossoming
Observing the beauty of redbuds in Spring.
Yeah it's Spring
Reiterating the acknowledgment of Spring.
Down by the creek
Locating the scene near a creek once again.
It's Spring
Reiteration of the arrival of Spring.
And I like to dream
Expressing a fondness for daydreaming during Spring.
It's Spring
Reiteration of the arrival of Spring.
Laying 'neath the trees
Reiterating the peacefulness of being under the trees during Spring.
Yeah it's Spring.
Final affirmation of the arrival of Spring.
