Spring Fever from the Songs Somebody Should Sing series
by Candelaria N. Silva
When spring fever hits
And your sap begins to run
The layers and gloom of winter
Come all undone.
Your throw the windows open
Sweep the cobwebs out your mind
Fill the house with flowers
Go looking for a love to find.
Your skin has felt so hungry
For the warmth of the sun
So you bury coats and mufflers
And find new paths to run.
Spring fever hits
And your poise comes all undone
Passion burns your fingers
And your sap begins to run.
Your thoughts turn to romance
And all kinds of crazy stuff
Like painting your walls purple
And if that ain’t enough
You strap on your sandals
Go strutting down the street
The music is everywhere you
Plant your freshly prettied feet.
You put on all your colors
Unwrap your big wide grin
You’re ripe and ready for trouble
Let the season of love begin.
Spring fever hits
And your poise comes all undone
Passion burns your fingers
And your sap begins to run.
Even in this time of Covid
It’s hard to ignore Nature’s bid
The urge to merge is palpable
Your seasonal optimism unflappable
Spring 2020 what’s a woman to do?
Start the seedlings, change the linens,
Open the windows – is that bad or good?
Refresh her attitude and constrain her wandering mood
It’s spring time y’all and that is just
’cause it means Mother Nature didn’t forsake us
Spring has come you sap is s’sposed to run
Do it safely, but best believe find your fun.
