Autumn Leaves Are Falling - Remastered in 2004

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 a craziness, too
 Holding onto 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 wondered 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 onto 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...
