Leaves

ONE DAY AS DUSK WAS NEARING

I SAW SOMETHING I THOUGHT WAS WORTH HEARING

SOMETHING I KNEW ALL ALONG

NOW LISTEN TO MY NEW YEAR'S SONG

WHO EVER MADE UP THE CALENDAR WAS WRONG

IT'S NEW YEAR'S ALL YEAR LONG

EACH YEAR IS A MINUTE

ONLY FULL OF THE LEAVES IN IT

NOW DADDY SAID THIS TO HIS SON

I KNOW FOR SURE THIS CAN BE DONE

WELL COVER UP OUR TRACKS AND THEN

WALK BACK THE OTHER WAY AGAIN

ONE DAY IN A FOREST CLEARING

I SAW DIFFERENT THING APPEARING

AND NOW IT'S BEEN AROUND SO LONG

NOW LISTEN TO MY NEW YEAR'S SONG
