Lyrics for Last Leaves of Autumn

Oh the leaves how they shimmer Trees lift their skirts and they quiver Gently they lay down To the dirt and dust and ground They lose their innocence to find it all over Ain't nothing missing, they're just high on a feeling All they need is believing, no reason will do I'm hanging on like the last leaves of autumn But I'm coming through like the first shoots of spring I'm standing outside of space and time And I'm healing Believing I'm ready for a first time feeling Something I can believe in I'm ready for a first time feeling Awaken sleeping season If ever that morning came again I'd take it If ever that morning came again I'd be there I have tried to live each day as a last I have found life is long and I've gone and got a past And it's best to stand in the shelter of my love I'm hanging on like the last leaves of autumn But one ray of sun and I bleed into one I would light up the sky in one burning mist of flame I could light up the sky in one blinding mist of flame... I'm ready for a first time feeling Something I could believe in I'm ready for a first time feeling Awaken sleeping season
