Strum
D-DU-UDU
]  - x2
Spring  fever, pure ether, scent  is in your hair
 Makes me want to shout your name
Bells  ringing, birds singing, down  the country lane
 Summoning you to the game
Slow  cricket, old wicket, on  the village green
 See the scene through cups of tea
So  English, distinguished, hands  upon their knees
 Grumbling like bumble bees
 / x2
One  dozen bees buzzing, around  a golden hive
 Watch them take a dive and see
Sweet  honey, so sunny, glistens  in the bowl
 Shining out it's 'glory be'
The  vicar, skips quicker, cassocks  in the wind
 'I have never sinned' says he
Cucumber,  slips under, nose  above his chin
 Followed by his wife's sloe gin
 / x4
 ends with Dm Bb
Dancer  creating on the glad  befriending stage
  (- When the time is)
Whirling  burning life on all she meets
  (- Mirror the dancing
  Over the land and through)
 The  airs become the graces that are hidden  in your face
 Surrender do  do it they knew it
 The treason of  her kiss
We  advance relating on your mad  beguiling song
  (- When the time is)
Turning  yearning wife of all the years
  (- Years are becoming
  Colder and longer now)
 But please  remember that  no time is long
Spring  is the dancer  the lover  of men
She  will sing  for you over  and over  again
 Surrender,  befriend  her and fight  to the end
If  the rhyme  is your treason
 She must  be your friend
 ^ ^ ^
Winter  has spoken on it's sad  untimely drum
  (- When the call is)
Swirling  twirling strife to all it sees
  (- Season of ice
  Will tell you the price it bears)
 The field  that once was open is now hidden  from your view
 Pretender, you  did it, you hid it
 The crowning of  the king
Fight  another winter and you'll live  another spring
  (- When the call is)
Swirling  twirling death is where he stands
  (- Staggers the growth
  And stammers the oath)
 He swears  he'll take the dancer  by the hand
Spring  is the dancer  the lover  of men
She  will sing  for you over  and over  again
 Surrender,  befriend  her and fight  to the end
If  the rhyme  is your treason
 She must  be your friend
 The king  is returning  the queen  is to die
In  a riot  of colour  she falls  from the sky
 The kingdom  is dancing  to sad  lullabies
She  has no  real answers,  she just  passes by
 x2
 If the spring is the sun
