1.Pussywillows, cat-tails, soft wind 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.



                                 
2.Catbirds and cornfields, daydreams together,

                                          
Riding on the roadside, the dust gets in your eyes,

                                          
Revelling, disheveling, the summer nights can bring,

                                   
Pussywillows, cat-tails...soft winds and roses.



                                         
3.Slanted rays and coloured 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.



                                       
4.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.
