Artist/Band: Porter Wagoner
Lyrics for Song: Fallen Leaves
Lyrics for Album: The Cold Hard Facts of Life/Soul of a Convict [2008]



(Louis M. Jones)



Fallen leaves that lie scattered on the ground

The birds and flowers that were here can not be found

All the friends that he once knew are not around

They are scattered like the leaves upon the ground.



Some folks drift along through life and never thrill

To the feeling that a good deed brings until

It's too late and they are ready to lie down

There beneath the leaves that scattered on the ground.



Lord, let my eyes see every need of every man

Make me stop and always lend a helping hand

Then when I'm laid beneath that little grassy mound

There'll be more friends around than leaves upon the ground.



To your grave there's no use taking any gold

You cannot use it when it's time for hands to fold

When you leave this earth for a better home someday

The only thing you'll take is what you gave away...
