Back in the spring   When I thought of those things   I dodged the questions   I ducked the clouds   There were shadows in my heartland      Back in the fall when I knew it all   The wrong seemed right   And the right seemed wrong   There were shadows in the backyard      Listen boy, when he talks to you   Won't you listen to what he says?   He wore a familiar face, I know   Wake up and take a feel   A familiar face, I saw   Wake up and take a feel      Back in the fall when I knew it all   I dodged the questions   I ducked the clouds   There were shadows in my homeland      Back in the spring   I thought of those things   In my mind      Listen boy when he talks to you   Won't you listen to what he says?   He wore a familiar face, I know   Wake up and take a feel   A familiar face, I saw   Wake up and take a feel
