[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
