Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

Pussywillows, Cat-Tails

Pussywillows cat-tails soft winds and roses

Rainpools 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 wood fires a-blazin'

Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul

Treasuring remembering the promise of spring

Pussywillows cat-tails soft winds and roses
