Almost Summer

My broken heart, it ain't broke no more Everybody's back from that bloody war Each mornin' now, there's a little more light And that mockingbird, he came home last night It's almost summer It's almost summer The highway's open, no more chains I'll be headin' up, mmm, to riper days Where warmer winds blow across my eyes And this lonely place turns into paradise It's almost summer It's almost summer Now there's no more shuttin' shutters There's no more shovelin' snow And I'm almost ready to stay here But I'm almost ready to go It took a long cold winter to straighten out this mess Now and then I think of you, ah, but less and less Now I'm sittin' by myself, chartin' out another course Figurin' what I'll keep, what I'll toss It's almost summer It's almost summer It's almost summer It's almost summer
