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
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

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
