The Avett Brothers - A Fathers First Spring - Commentary lyrics

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 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 light I do not live 'less I live in your light 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 The kiss of the wind in the hills The clearness of morning, the late evening thrill Blurry and grey like the roar The wheels of the highway, above them I soar When I'm in the sweet daughter's eye My heart is now ruined for the rest of all time 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 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 light I do not live 'less I live in your light I do not live
