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.
