Intro:
------
[ ] - x2
Verses:
-------
Spring fever, pure ether, scent is in your hair
Makes me want to shout your name
Bells ringing, birds singing, down the country lane
Summoning you to the game
Slow cricket, old wicket, on the village green
See the scene through cups of tea
So English, distinguished, hands upon their knees
Grumbling like bumble bees
/ x2
One dozen bees buzzing, around a golden hive
Watch them take a dive and see
Sweet honey, so sunny, glistens in the bowl
Shining out it's 'glory be'
The vicar, skips quicker, cassocks in the wind
'I have never sinned' says he
Cucumber, slips under, nose above his chin
Followed by his wife's sloe gin
/ x4
Solo: ends with D#m Bb

Bridge:
-------
Dancer creating on the glad befriending stage
(- When the time is)
Whirling burning life on all she meets
(- Mirror the dancing
Over the land and through)
The airs become the graces that are hidden in your face
Surrender do do it they knew it
The treason of her kiss
We advance relating on your mad beguiling song
(- When the time is)
Turning yearning wife of all the years
(- Years are becoming
Colder and longer now)
But please remember that no time is long
Chorus:
-------
Spring is the dancer the lover of men
She will sing for you over and over again
Surrender, befriend her and fight to the end
If the rhyme is your treason
She must be your friend

Chorus2:

[the same as the first one] ^ ^ ^
Bridge2:
--------
Winter has spoken on it's sad untimely drum
(- When the call is)
Swirling twirling strife to all it sees
(- Season of ice
Will tell you the price it bears)
The field that once was open is now hidden from your view
Pretender, you did it, you hid it
The crowning of the king
Fight another winter and you'll live another spring
(- When the call is)
Swirling twirling death is where he stands
(- Staggers the growth
And stammers the oath)
He swears he'll take the dancer by the hand
Chorus3:
-------
Spring is the dancer the lover of men
She will sing for you over and over again
Surrender, befriend her and fight to the end
If the rhyme is your treason
She must be your friend
The king is returning the queen is to die
In a riot of colour she falls from the sky
The kingdom is dancing to sad lullabies
She has no real answers, she just passes by
x2
If the spring is the sun
