[Verse 1]
Every morning
The sun slips in
A little earlier
Across my skin
Curtains glowing
Dust in slow parade
I lie listening
To the light being made

[Chorus]
Spring is incipient in me
Like a word on the tip of my tongue
Like a doorway I’ve never walked through
That I’ve dreamed of since I was young
I don’t bloom all at once
I unfold quietly
But my heart keeps repeating
Spring is incipient in me

[Verse 2]
Trees are dressing up
In tender
Newborn green
Tiny hands of leaves
Where the bare bones used to be
Flowers hold out cups
Brimmed with colored tea
Bees write little poems
Where the petals meet the breeze

[Chorus]
Spring is incipient in me
Like a word on the tip of my tongue
Like a doorway I’ve never walked through
That I’ve dreamed of since I was young
I don’t bloom all at once
I unfold quietly
But my heart keeps repeating
Spring is incipient in me (in me)

[Bridge]
I have carried so much winter
Heavy coat
Heavy keys
Now I’m stepping to the threshold
Hands shaking
Finally free
If the thaw feels slow
That’s just how rivers breathe
Every drop a promise
Running out of me

[Chorus]
Spring is incipient in me
Like a word on the tip of my tongue
Like a letter I kept in my pocket
I’m unfolding it line by line
Love
I don’t bloom all at once
I unfold quietly
But I’m done with pretending
I’m still asleep
My heart keeps repeating
Spring is incipient in me (oh, in me)
