"Pussywillows, Cat-tails" Gordon Lightfoot

p

The first time I heard this, Kenny Rankin did a cover and I really liked it.

Pussywillows, Cat-tails

Gordon Lightfoot


Pussy-willows, cat-tails soft winds 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
Reveling, disheveling the summer nights can bring
Pussy-willows, 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
Pussy-willows, cat-tails soft winds and roses

Harsh nights and candlelight's wood fires a-blazing’
Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul
Treasuring remembering the promise of spring
Pussy-willows, cat-tails soft winds and roses
