PUSSYWILLOWS CATTAILS LYRICS
BY : KENNY RANKIN

"Pussywillows cattails soft wind and roses
Rainpools in the woodland water to my knees
Shivering quivering the warm breath of spring
Pussywillows cattails soft winds and roses

Catbirds and cornfields daydreams together
Riding on the roadside the dust gets in your eyes
Reveling disheveling the summer night can bring
Pussywillows cattails soft winds and roses

Slanted rays and colored days stark blue horizons
Naked limbs and wheat bins hazy afternoons
Voicing rejoicing the wine cups to bring
Pussywillows cattails soft winds and roses

Hars nights and candlelights wood fires a-blazin
Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul
Treasuring remembering the promise of spring
Pussywillows cattails soft winds and roses
And roses
And the soft winds"
