Lyrics

April song

Lilac glistening foal

Ten as one

On the breeze they flow

When it gets my heart out

When it gets my heart out

Nature's son

Don't you know where life has gone

Burying progress in the clouds

How we learn to linger on

Head in sand

Expecting the dour

To redress with open arms

Ascension in incentive end

When it gets my heart out

When it gets my heart out

Nature's son

Don't you know how life goes on

Desperately befriending the crowd

To incessantly drive on

Dress in gold's surrendering gown

Heaven bless you in your calm

My gentle friend

Heaven bless you
