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 the 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.
