Cuckoo Time - Molly Drake

I wish it were cuckoo time

Sweet lovely cuckoo time

Wish it were cuckoo time

The month of May

Oh, that was a cuckoo time

Sweet crazy cuckoo time

Morning of all the year

Break of day

But now it’s swallow time

And swallows in the sky

Are ready to spread their wings

And fly

And with the swallow time

The year is on the wing

Only a memory

Of spring

Oh, how did it pass me by?

Sweet lovely cuckoo time

Did I not notice when

The year was young?

Can I remember still?

That cuckoo time

Now that the cuckoos are

In sun
