Lying in the long long grass

Blossom on the trees

Springtime's slipping away my love

Yeah springtime's slipping away

When it comes around again

It will never be the same

Heaven's slipping away my love

Yeah heaven's slipping away

Yeah heaven's slipping away



Walking through this changing season

Sorrow spreads its wings

We can't keep a hold on time

Just receive what it brings



Lying in the long long grass

Clouds are drifting by

Springtime's slipping away my love

Yeah springtime's slipping away

Dreaming in this lost domain

Which you'll never see again

Heaven's slipping away my love

Yeah heaven's slipping away

Yeah heaven's slipping away



Walking through this changing season

Sorrow spreads its wings

Light a candle in your heart

Light it to the spring

Walking through this changing season

Sorrow spreads its wings

We cant keep a hold on time

Just recieve what it will bring



Mellow evenings in the spring

Full of warmth and hope

you are dreaming unaware

Unaware that you are letting go



Walking through this changing season

Sorrow spreads it wings

We can't keep a hold on time

Just recieve what it will bring

Walking through this lonely season

Sorrow spreads its wings

Light a candle in your heart

Light it to the spring



Springtime's slipping away my love

Yeah springtime's slipping away

Heaven's slipping away my love

Yeah heaven's slipping away.
