Autumn Leaves Are Falling lyrics

Artist  : Clannad 
Song : Autumn Leaves Are Falling
 
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 they had endless hoping

 For some of them crazy too



 Holding on to better reasons



 We'll never truly know

 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...
