             The Springs

 

Let’s go down to the springs,

We can watch the dogwoods grow.

Let’s go down and watch things,

Get up right now, let’s go!

 

The water will be running,

We certainly won’t miss that.

Today you do look stunning,

Let’s go down and chat.

 

There’s something I want to tell you

There’s something I want to say:

Now we’re a nation of two

Starting this very day.

 

So, let’s go down to the springs

We can watch the dogwood grow.

We’ll hear the bird that sings,

There’s one thing that I know.

 

When we go down to the springs

We’ll see if two can be one.

We’ll avoid the things that sting

And catch a little sun.

 

The thing that I have found

Is a love for only you.

My heart will always pound

When I enter our nation of two.
