Children skipping in the street
Each happy as a child can be
Women dressed up in their best
Wearing tulips on their chests
And people talking, never stopping
Lover’s walking, almost hopping
Spring is here, and so is life
Goodbye sorrow, goodbye night

Water’s flowing
Warm wind blowing
Daffodils growing
Spring is here
Sun is shining
Lover’s binding
All unwinding
Spring is here

Spring is here, and I’m so happy
Spring is here, and I am laughing
Spring is here, and I’m so happy
Spring is here, it’s finally here

Dogs and cats are playing games
In the warmth of April rain
Country churches ringing bells
Captured by a magic spell
And people talking, never stopping
Lover’s walking, almost bopping
Spring is here, and so is light
Goodbye sorrow, goodbye fright

Water’s flowing
Warm wind blowing
Daffodils growing
Spring is here
Sun is shining
Lover’s binding
All unwinding
Spring is here
 
Spring is here, and I’m so happy
Spring is here, and I am laughing
Spring is here, and I’m so happy
Spring is here, it’s finally here

Spring is here, and I’m so happy
Spring is here, and so I’m laughing
Spring is here, and I’m so happy
Spring is here, it’s really here
Spring is here
Spring is here, Ohhhh-ho-o

Spring is Here

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories - and I've been doing that since. At the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past two years, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on Kompoz. I release many of these songs here and compile the best into albums released under Captain Stormfield's Trip on Spotify and other platforms (see links below).
