Leaves

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song

I’m twenty-two now, but I won’t be for long

Time hurries on

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

And they whither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand

Once my heart was filled with love of a girl

I held her close, but she faded in the night

Like a poem I meant to write

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

- Paul Simon
