From Gordon Lighfoot's third album "Did She Mention My Name"(1968) - a song about absolutely nothing: but a nice tune, and easy to play.
Gordon Meredith Lightfoot Jr. [CC OOnt], born November 1938, died of natural causes at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto on May 1, 2023, at the age of 84.
Bless him ... and all Canadian folk singers!
pussywillows, cat-tails • soft wind and roses
rain pools in the woodland • water to my knees
shivering;quivering • the warm breath of spring
pussywillows,cat-tails ... soft winds and roses
catbirds and cornfields • daydreams together
riding on the roadside • the dust gets in your eyes
revelling; disheveling • the summer nights can bring
pussywillows, cat-tails ... soft winds and roses
slanted rays and coloured days • stark blue horizons
naked limbs and wheat bins • hazy afternoons
voicing; rejoicing • the wine cups do bring
pussywillows, cat-tails ... soft winds and roses
harsh nights and candlelights • woodfires a-blazin'
soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul
treasuring; remembering the promise of spring
pussywillows, cat-tails ... soft winds and roses
