“April”

April is a cruel time

Even though the sun may shine

And world looks in the shade as it slowly comes away

Still falls the April rain

And the valley’s filled with pain

And you can’t tell me quite why

As I look up to the grey sky

Where is should be blue

Grey sky where I should see you

Ask why, why it should be so

I’ll cry, say that I don’t know

Baby once in a while I’ll forget and I’ll smile

But then the feeling comes again of an April without end

Of an April lonely as a girl

In the dark of my mind I can see all too fine

But there is nothing to be done when I just can’t feel the sun

And the springtime’s the season of the night

Grey sky where it should be blue

Grey sky where it should see you

Ask why, why it should be so

I’ll cry, say that I don’t know

I don’t know…
