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
  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
