Lyrics
Woke up Saturday and the light was different Gold along the edge of the floor The cat was on the sill like she'd won a prize And the sparrows were shouting next door Coats still hanging by the door like habits But nobody's needing them today The neighbours are out with their sleeves rolled up And the whole street's learned to say Spring walked in without knocking Kicked off its boots in the hall Opened up every window Sang right through the wall Hey, hey, the sun is on the step Hey, hey, we've kept our promise yet Spring walked in without knocking And we're glad, we're glad it did Mr Hall is whistling in his flowerbeds There are crocuses out on the green Someone's got a radio on the wall Playing songs from a time in between Spring walked in without knocking Kicked off its boots in the hall Opened up every window Sang right through the wall Hey, hey, the sun is on the step Hey, hey, we've kept our promise yet Spring walked in without knocking And we're glad, we're glad it did Oh, the long grey months were gentle They taught us how to wait Now the morning's wide and open And it's never, never late Spring walked in without knocking Kicked off its boots in the hall Opened up every window Sang right through the wall Hey, hey, the sun is on the step Hey, hey, we've kept our promise yet Spring walked in without knocking And we're glad, we're glad it did Spring walked in without knocking And we're glad it did
