Cold April Lyrics – Allison Russell

Cold April Lyrics

[Intro]
It’s one if you’re scared, two if you’re sad
Three if you know it’s really that bad
One if you’re scared, two if you’re sad
Three if you know it’s really that bad
One if you’re scared, two if you’re sad
Three if you know
3-2-1, 1-2-3

[Verse 1]
I already know sometimes it snows in April
I heard my mother sing it way back when I was a child
Promises vanish in the dark, 88 keys and a broken heart
It couldn’t make it better, but it made it feel alright

[Chorus]
Even when you feel your whole world is crumbling
You’re still gonna try and soothe somebody else
There’s not enough bullets, not enough guns
Thеy can kill the bird, but not the bird song, ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
I already know somеtimes to grow, you break first
I learned it from my father way back when I was child
Promises vanish in the dark, 99 ways he crushed my heart
But he couldn’t make it bitter ’cause we took back the night

[Chorus]
Even when you feel your whole soul is crumbling
You’re still gonna try and soothe somebody else
Yeah, there’s not enough bullets, not enough guns
They can kill the bird, but not the bird song, ooh-ooh
I already know sometimes it snows in April

[Interlude]
1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4

[Bridge]
Calling all birds from across the Nation
Yeah, we got a brand new murmuration
We don’t gotta fly in that old formation, no
Calling all birds from across the Nation
Yeah, we got a brand new murmuration
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
I already know sometimes it snows in April
I heard my mother sing it way back when I was a child
