Standard (EADGBE)

Pussy-willows, cat-tails, soft wind and roses,

Rain pools in the woodland, water to my knees,

Shivering, quivering, the warm breath of spring,

Pussy-willows, cat-tails... soft winds and roses.

Catbirds and cornfields, daydreams together,

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

Revelling, disheveling, the summer nights can bring,

Pussy-willows, cat-tails...soft winds and roses.

Slanted rays and coloured days, stark blue horizons,

Naked limbs and wheat bins, hazy afternoons,

Voicing, rejoicing, the wine cups do bring,

Pussy-willows, 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,

Pussy-willows, cat-tails, soft winds and roses.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
