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
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 wheat bins, 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
And roses

Glad to know you are a Gordon Lightfoot fan too, John. I was a huge fan in my younger days. He was certainly one of Canada's greatest singer-songwriters and a huge contributor to Canadian culture. He will be sorely missed.
ReplyDeleteYes, another beautiful song from him - he wrote so many and was an excellent performer as well, understated but powerful. Thank you for reminding me of this one.
