Last Leaves of Autumn

  • Oh the leaves how they shimmer
    Trees lift their skirts and they quiver
    Gently they lay down
    To the dirt and dust and ground

    They lose their innocence to find it all over
    Ain't nothing missing, they're just high on a feeling
    All they need is believing, no reason will do
    I'm hanging on like the last leaves of autumn
    But I'm coming through like the first shoots of spring
    I'm standing outside of space and time
    And I'm healing
    Believing

    I'm ready for a first time feeling
    Something I can believe in
    I'm ready for a first time feeling
    Awaken sleeping season

    If ever that morning came again I'd take it
    If ever that morning came again I'd be there
    I have tried to live each day as a last
    I have found life is long and I've gone and got a past
    And it's best to stand in the shelter of my love
    I'm hanging on like the last leaves of autumn
    But one ray of sun and I bleed into one
    I would light up the sky in one burning mist of flame
    I could light up the sky in one blinding mist of flame

    I'm ready for a first time feeling
    Something I could believe in
    I'm ready for a first time feeling
    Awaken sleeping season Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
