Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses

Rainbows in the woodland, water to my knees

Shivering, quivering, the warm breath of spring

Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses



Catbirds and cornfields, daydreams together

Riding on the roadside the dust gets in your eyes

Reveling, disheveling, the summer nights can bring

Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses



Slanted rays and colored days, stark blue horizons

Naked limbs and wheatbins, hazy afternoons

Voicing, rejoicing, the wine cups do bring

Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses



Harsh nights and candlelights, woodfires a-blazin'

Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul

Treasuring, remembering, the promise of spring

Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
