Spring is like a perhaps hand Lyrics

III

Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
Out of Nowhere)arranging
A window,into which people look(while

People stare
Arranging and changing placing
Carefully there a strange
Thing and a known thing here)and

Changing everything carefully

Spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
And fro moving New and
Old things,while
People stare carefully
Moving a perhaps
Fraction of flower here placing
An inch of air there)and

Without breaking anything.

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
