The category for Day 16 was for a song about love in the spring for #LoveIsInDaBlog. Once again I have a song about love and the possible end of a love. Loretta Lynn’s 1978 single “Spring Fever”!

That’s what’s in “My Rattled Cage”, thanks for stopping by!!!

Lyrics

Last night he took me in his arms
And held me tenderly
He said: “I don’t know what’s got into you
“But I’m lovin’ what I see.”
I hid my shame and tried to say
The words I longed dreamed of
But instead of saying: “Set me free,”
I whispered: “I’m in love.”

I said: “I guess it’s Spring fever in the middle of Winter
“I hear bird singin’, an’ I feel the warm sunshine too
I said: “I guess it’s Spring fever in the middle of Winter
“That makes the warm of glowing love,”
But I just couldn’t tell him it was someone new

I tried to make you understand
The reasons I can’t go
You love is fresh and new, but his love’s true
It’s had time to grow
And even though he may no longer
Keep me satisfied
Don’t you know he’s still got Spring and Fall
And Summer on his side

I said: “I guess it’s Spring fever in the middle of Winter
“I hear bird singin’, an’ I feel the warm sunshine too
I said: “I guess it’s Spring fever in the middle of Winter
“That makes the warm of glowing love,”
But I just couldn’t tell him it was someone new
