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

 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
