lyrics

On the last day of March she spent all day dyeing her hair blue
That night it was a new moon
And I pretended that I didn’t have a clue
But I really knew things would be ending soon

Spring has begun
But the rain has washed away any sign of the sun
It seems me and April are finally done

March’s sunshine then April’s poor
It was a dry winter, they weren’t expecting much more
Now I’d come back crawling on the floor
But April had already marched out the door

April showers are supposed to be
bringing in those May flowers
It may now seem to bring hours spent alone
Is this some kind of April Fools joke?

Stoned out of my mind, but she’s still in there
Try to tell myself I don’t mind, but I still care
How are you supposed to forget someone’s name
When its said every day to declare the date
Just knock another bottle back now
Take a walk and get some fresh air
Light up a cigarette with some time you won’t even care
