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 cant keep a hold on time
Just recieve 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 recieve 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 awa
