[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

[Instrumental]

[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
[Ending]
Springtime's slipping away my love
Yeah springtime's slipping away
Heaven's slipping away my love
Yeah heaven's slipping away
