Autumn Leaves Are Falling

Autumn leaves are falling 'round us

Time to gather all those many thoughts

Of all the things that might have been

Or gained at such a costFor some of us there's endless hoping

For some of us craziness too

Holding on to better reasons

Works for me and you, you know it's trueAnd when the stakes are higher

Never play with fire, leave it aloneI wandered through a country churchyard

And wandered what kind of life they led

Walked into a castle ruin

Of gentry that had fledFor some of them had endless hoping

Some of them crazy too

Holding on to better reasons

We'll never truly know, ohThose trees will tumble down on a stormy day

And those leaves will fade away, fade awayThe autumn leaves are falling 'round us

I'm here to gather all my many thoughts

Of all the things that might have been

As the ground has turned to frostLeaves are falling

Autumn leaves are falling

Leaves are falling

Autumn leaves are falling
