[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Walking through this changing season

Sorrow spreads its wings

We can't keep a hold on time

Just receive what would bring

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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 would bring

[Bridge]

Mellow evenings in the spring

Full of warmth and hope

You are dreaming unaware

Unaware that you are letting go

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]

Walking through this changing season

Sorrow spreads its wings

We can't keep a hold on time

Just receive what it would bring

Walking through this changing season

Sorrow spreads its wings

Light a candle in your heart

Light it to the spring

[Outro]

Springtime's slipping away my love

Yeah springtime's slipping away

Heaven's slipping away my love

Yeah heaven's slipping away
