[Verse 1]
Back in the spring
When I thought of those things
I dodged the questions
I ducked the clouds
There were shadows in my heartland

[Verse 2]
Back in the fall when I knew it all
The wrong seemed right
And the right seemed wrong
There were shadows in the backyard

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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
