Indispensable: The Best of Michael Franks lyrics

Winter's hard to rhyme
We're prisoners in some icy pantomime
Just waiting for the wind to change his mind
And sing us green
April starts to whisper to the trees
I hoe and you plant the trees
Canterbury Bells begin to ring
The sparrows are stealing string
Hollycocks and foxglove to the knee
Now life's a major key
We've got mud between our toes
This is how the garden grows

Money misery grows
Oh woe is we
Who know where it will end
Hard luck follows us
Minus never plus
Will we break or just bend
Never say die
We've got the worst behind us
If we just try
Soon we'll be feeling strong
Cancel that frown
Somehow the light will find us
Can't keep us down
Well at least not for long
Worry's worn us thin
But when our ship comes in
All our troubles will fold
