Oh Do Not Fly Away

I'll wait to ring the bells awhile
Till all the light and color
Have stayed the whole of spring
Until I believe it

And if, and if I count on you
Oh do not fly away
I dare not count on you
It is too early to say

Oh can you tell me of the future
If something is the matter?
I am afraid to look
Down the road much further

And if, and if I count on you
Oh do not fly away
I dare not count on you
It is too early to say

All through the dog paths and hazel
In every place I've entered
I've looked for you to come
Years ago or sooner

And if, and if I count on you
Oh do not fly away
I dare not count on you
It is too early to say
