autumn leaves are falling lyrics

Autumn leaves are falling 'round us
Time to gather all those many thoughts
Of all the things that might have been
Or gained at such a cost

For some of us there's endless hoping
For some of us craziness too
Holding on to better reasons
Works for me and you, you know it's true

And when the stakes are higher
Never play with fire, leave it alone

I wandered through a country churchyard
And wandered what kind of life they led
Walked into a castle ruin
Of gentry that had fled

For some of them had endless hoping
Some of them crazy too
Holding on to better reasons
We'll never truly know, oh

Those trees will tumble down on a stormy day
And those leaves will fade away, fade away

The autumn leaves are falling 'round us
I'm here to gather all my many thoughts
Of all the things that might have been
As the ground has turned to frost

Leaves are falling
Autumn leaves are falling
Leaves are falling
Autumn leaves are falling
