Lying in the long long grass Blossom on the trees Springtime's slipping away my love Yeah springtime's slipping away When it comes around again It will never be the same Heaven's slipping away my love Yeah heaven's slipping away Yeah heaven's slipping away Walking through this changing season Sorrow spreads its wings We can't keep a hold on time Just receive what it brings Lying in the long long grass Clouds are drifting by Springtime's slipping away my love Yeah springtime's slipping away Dreaming in this lost domain Which you'll never see again Heaven's slipping away my love Yeah heaven's slipping away Yeah heaven's slipping away Walking through this changing season Sorrow spreads its wings Light a candle in your heart Light it to the spring Walking through this changing season Sorrow spreads its wings We can't keep a hold on time Just receive what it will bring Mellow evenings in the spring Full of warmth and hope You are dreaming unaware Unaware that you are letting go Walking through this changing season Sorrow spreads it wings We can't keep a hold on time Just receive what it will bring Walking through this lonely season Sorrow spreads its wings Light a candle in your heart Light it to the spring Springtime's slipping away my love Yeah springtime's slipping away Heaven's slipping away my love Yeah heaven's slipping away
