The First Sign Of Spring Lyrics

Dark Eyed Juncos are deep in the park
We've got a long way to go
Fairy Wren and the Jewel Weed
Are deep in the ground or out across the sea
Sidewalk is frozen, I'm tired of my coat
And the snow drifts in again
I keep forgetting to bring my hat
And I'm shivering in the wind
Only two people on this big city block
Who can't stop slow dancing to a silent song
And it looks like you and me
Are the first sign of spring
You and me are the first sign
You and me

In a darkened bar before I ever touched your face
I made the inevitable profession of love
But it didn't cross my lips
And it echoed in my skull
When you were back at your place
You said the very same thing
When you were all alone in the dark
And it looks like you and me
Are the first sign of spring
You and me are the first sign
You and me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
