Yellow wings floating, floating in the wind
Flickerin' and glowin', glowin' like a flame against the sun
Burnin' bright as anyone
It's the first day of Spring and the last day of your life

Spiderwebs 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 you 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
