Miss Butter’s Lament lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Waiting around for the first breath of spring
Nobody else seems to care
She waits patiently with the knowledge
That she will have so much to give to someone

[Verse 2]
Waiting around for the knock at the door
Gentleman callers, beware
Hoping to see all the flowers and candy
He's offered her in every dream she's ever had

[Bridge]
She don't mind all the waiting around
For someone to come along
I know she's about to be found
Before too long

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
She don't mind all the waiting around
For someone to come along
I know she's about to be found
Before too long
[Verse 4]
Waiting around for the first breath of spring
She never noticed the snow on the ground
Spring never made it, somebody delayed it
For her again

[Outro]
Like the year before
And the year before
And the year before
And the year before
And the year before
