Autumn leaves take it nice and slow
From summery green to a golden glow
They wait and they wait and they hold on tight
'til their veins feel the chill as day turns to night
Autumn leaves they fall, they fall
Break free from their branches so tall, so tall
Float through the air swaying side to side
Admiring the view on their downward ride
Oooooooo
Ooooo
My winter heart grieves for autumn leaves
Autumn leaves dance in pirouettes
While I make believe I'm their silhouettes
Whirling and twirling most gracefully
I am an autumn leaf, wild and free
A bright orange fire
Sunset so red
Riches of gold on the flower bed
Pile them up
Toss in the air
And underneath my feet
What do I hear?
Autumn leaves know it's not a race
They'll finally find their resting place
'til the wind takes a deep breath and blows and blows
Turning cartwheeling leaves into spiralling tornadoes
Oooooooo
Ooooo
My winter heart grieves for autumn leaves
Oooooooo
Ooooo
My winter heart grieves for autumn leaves
