Lyrics for Leaves
One afternoon as dusk was nearing I saw something I thought worth hearing Something that's been around so long Now listen to my new year's song Who ever made up the calendar was wrong It's new years 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 We'll cover up our tracks and then Walk back the other way again Who ever made up the calendar was wrong It's new years all year long Each year is a minute Only full of the leaves in it One day in a forest clearing I saw different things appearing And now it's been around so long Now listen to my new years song
