Gordon Lightfoot
Pussywillows, Cat-Tails
[Verse 1]
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
Rain pools in the woodland, water to my knees
Shivering, quivering, the warm breath of spring
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 winds and roses
[Verse 4]
Harsh nights and candlelights, wood fires a-blazin'
Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul
Treasuring, remembering the promise of spring
Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses
