Tom Wilson - Leaves That Are Green lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Refrain] And the leaves that are green turn to brown And they wither with the wind And they crumble in your hand [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] And the leaves that are green turn to brown And they wither with the wind And they crumble in your hand [Verse 3] I threw a pebble in a brook And watched the ripples run away And they never made a sound [Refrain] And the leaves that are green turn to brown And they wither with the wind And they crumble in your hand [Verse 4] Hello, hello, hello, hello Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye, good-bye That's all there is [Refrain] And the leaves that are green turn to brown
