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 cost



For 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 true



And when the stakes are higher



Never play with fire, leave it alone



I wandered through a country churchyard



And wandered what kind of life they led



Walked into a castle ruin



Of gentry that had fled



For some of them had endless hoping



Some of them crazy too



Holding on to better reasons



We'll never truly know, oh



Those trees will tumble down on a stormy day



And those leaves will fade away, fade away



The 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 frost



Leaves are falling



Autumn leaves are falling



Leaves are falling



Autumn leaves are falling
