Pussywillows, Cat-tails

    Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses.
    Rainpools 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 in the roadside, the dust gets in your eyes
    revelling, dishevelling, the summer nights can bring
    pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses.

    Slanted rays and colored days, stark blue horizons
    naked limbs and wheat-bins, hazy afternoons
    voicing, rejoicing, the wine cups do bring
    pussywillows, cat-tails, soft wind and roses.

    Harsh nights and candle lights, woodfires a-blazin'
    soft lips and fingertips, resting in my soul
    treasuring, remembering, the promise of spring
    pussywillows, cat-tails, soft wind and roses.
