lyrics

across the schoolyard as a child I saw you first and knew
just as I knew the leaves did fall that I’d love only you
I went my way I knew the day would come
the day when I would take your hand and lead you home

as a youth my blood did heat I felt the day was near
but couldn’t raise my hand to you my arm was numb with fear
at last you slowly turned to me
you took my hand and gave a smile and put me from your feet

the leaves are falling
the leaves are falling like your hair below

then you walked away and I stood helpless in the rain
I gave a cry and ran to you to grasp your hand again
but you just kissed me on the cheek
and left me once again you didn’t even speak

so I knew my day was done my love would never be
but still I loved you all alone and maybe you loved me
you became his wife you were beautiful to see
with child his child the child meant for me

the leaves are falling
the leaves are falling like your hair below

the years did pass the leaves did fall and rested in your hair
I never touched another woman and I never cared to
the years did pass your hair did gray your beauty didn’t fade
but always shined within your eyes and shined into the grave

and now your rest beneath this stone your eyes will never shine
nor from your empty lips will breath ever mix with mine
I’m tired of this life my love body mind and soul
and now the only light I knew lies lifeless here and cold

the leaves are falling
the leaves are falling like your hair below

and so I’ll lie this tire body beside your cold gray stone
and with my love at last no more sleep alone

the leaves are falling
the leaves are falling like your hair below
