story behind the song: of garlic and hope and spring and the spice of life
Lyrics
rivers may be thawing
as hearts begin to mend
the differences and tribulations
of acquaintences and friends
the hours of impertinence
the moments of held fast
living when all hope is wan
singed with love long past
icicles are dripping
as dreams begin again
the similarities once shunned
are brought to light to mend
the fences of delusion
the stalls of can't go back
living when all hope has gone
burned out by the facts
drifts of getting smaller
as thoughts warm as they tend
the wonders of what's meant to be
and how they do pretend
the shadows of the longer
the shades of what was that
living when hope lingers on
smouldering, silent, sad
i really want to hold your hand
and spend my time with you
i really want to be your best friend
and more than that, it's true
i really want to hold your hand
and walk the world with you
i really want to be your best friend
and more than that, it's true
