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 away
