WINTER TURNS TO SPRING
(Roy Bailey)
I knew a man who nothing could dismay
Or take away his dignity
A man who knew, what two and two made and how
Many flowers make the spring
Saw spring crushed in 1939
Beneath the wheels of Germany
He walked through all the fallen cities somehow
Like a seed towards the spring
Returning home in 1945
Prague was full of Russian tanks
And it was law, two twos are four only now
Joseph Stalin makes the spring
[Chorus]
You have to know the difference
Between the roundabouts and swings
No matter what the distance
Winter turns to spring
Sentenced to death in 1954
Too much of a socialist
Surprise surprise, old Stalin dies and somehow
It's still flowers make the spring
So through the cold war he studied Kafka
And learned like Galileo
To tell as much truth as the times allow
While planting seeds towards the spring
[Chorus]
So when it came in 1968
Wenceslas was glorious
But in the summer, the Russian armour came
To save the people from their spring
I asked him then, in his last exile
How come you're still a socialist?
He said ask me instead what two and two make and how
Many flowers make the spring
[Chorus]
From Prague to Santiago, Belfast to Beijing
Underground but undefeated
Winter turns
Winter turns
Winter turns
Winter turns to spring
