Bellowhead - What's The Life Of A Man (Any More Than A Leaf?) lyrics

What's the life of a man any more than a leaf? Life has its seasons, so why should there be grief? Though in this wide world, we appear fine and gay Like a leaf we shall wither and soon fade away As I was a-walking one morning at ease A-viewing the leaves as they fell from the trees All were in full motion appearing to be And those that were withered they fell from the trees What's the life of a man any more than a leaf? Life has its seasons, so why should there be grief? Though in this wide world, we appear fine and gay Like a leaf we shall wither and soon fade away You should have seen the leaves but a short time ago They all were in full motion appearing to grow Till the frost came and bit them and withered them all And the storm came upon them and down they did fall What's the life of a man any more than a leaf? Life has its seasons, so why should there be grief? Though in this wide world, we appear fine and gay Like a leaf we shall wither and soon fade away Down in yonder churchyard many names you will see That have fallen from the world like the leaves from the tree Old age and affliction upon them did fall And d**h and disease came and blighted them all What's the life of a man any more than a leaf? Life has its seasons, so why should there be grief? Though in this wide world, we appear fine and gay Like a leaf we shall wither and soon fade away What's the life of a man any more than a leaf? Life has its seasons, so why should there be grief? Though in this wide world, we appear fine and gay Like a leaf we shall wither and soon fade away Like a leaf we shall wither and soon fade away
