If this is really the first day of spring
what are you doing my little goose?
You honk and you cry but you never really sing
Maj7
I think it's time you took to the sky
You gotta move
If the heat of summer's here again
why are you still here my flowering friend?
Your beauty was cool back in May
Maj7
but you are wilting on this June day. On this June day.
If fall is dusty and it's dry
keep your head buried my little fern
well the sparks they shower almost every night
Maj7
in nervous skies
I'm fearing a big burn
(solo)
If winter has us buried under ice
where will you go my dragonfly?
Well I see you through the surface of the pond
Maj7
will you hover there, wait for me
until the ice is gone?
(solo)
will you still need me in every season
honey, that's all gone
you used to need me, now you need a reason
Maj7
I haven't got one. I haven't got one
