Yellow wings floating, floating in the wind Flickering and glowing Glowing like a flame against the sun Burning bright as anyone It's the first day of spring and the last day of your life Spider webs dancing, dancing in the wind Silver and silken, silken like the hair upon your head Lying in your last bed It's the first day of spring and the last day of your life Mockingbirds perching, perching on a limb Singing up to heaven for her to let you in We've got to know that it's time to let you go It's the first day of spring and the last day of your life Hot water rising, rising in the pan Soak through the corn And make a pudding sweet for one last time What you like is what I'll find It's the first day of spring and the last day of your life It's the first day of spring and the last day of your life
