Lyrics

Pink ripe peaches
In a pretty glass bowl
Goldfinch chirpin'
On the telephone pole
Clothes line hummin'
I can hear it sing
When the wind is a blowin'
Through everything
Last day of winter
First day of spring
Livin' ain't easy
Like a broke kite string
Today wasn't nothin'
See what tomorrow brings
Tryin' to make a life
Out of simple things
Kitchen table covered
With magazines
Fresh cup of coffee
Franks and beans
Daffodils bloomin'
By the garden stair
I don't remember
Ever plantin' them there
Last day of winter
First day of spring
Livin' ain't easy
Like a broke kite string
Today wasn't nothin'
See what tomorrow brings
Tryin' to make a life
Out of simple things
Whippoorwill whistlin'
Robin on the wing
Fresh cut apple
Telephone ring
Any interruption
Good enough for me
What I wouldn't give
For your company
Last day of winter
First day of spring
Livin' ain't easy
Like a broke kite string
Today wasn't nothin'
See what tomorrow brings
Tryin' to make a life
Out of simple things
Tryin' to make a life
Out of simple things
Tryin' to make a life
Out of simple things
Do it again
