 the last white slabs of snow
 melted off seven weeks ago.
 and the geese are headed north again
 through the tightening sky,
 and i can feel  my heart in my throat  again
 new onions growing in the ground.
 |  |  | X2
 the cows come gingerly out of the barn,
 and when they see that the ground is warm,
 they pick up  a little speed, it makes me feel so good,
 and i feel  it rushing down my throat -- fresh blood,
 i head out  onto the earth, its cold  heart is melting,
 i don't know if i can stand  it.
 springtime's coming,  that means you'll be coming  back around.
 new onions growing underground,  underground.
