Every New Leaf Over

Tonight inside the orchard south of town
 The petals are still falling and the moon
 Is tangled in the branches
 The lilac wind where no one goes
 Is rolling every new leaf over
 Every new leaf over
 Every new leaf over into ruin
 Nothing I have known
 Have I known too very long
 In every love the passing comfort
 At the bottom of a glass
 And I burned all my old letters
 But they could not keep me warm
 Reading each one by the light
 Each one by the light
 Each one by the light of the last
 I've been all around
 This big and broken world
 I've been loved and I've been lost
 So many times before
 But all that midnight wonder
 And every jackknife turn
 Brought me nearer oh my love
 Nearer oh my love
 Nearer oh my love to your door
 And so tonight I saw the orchard south of town
 And it came to me that I'll be leaving soon
 Oh and though it hurts me
 Still I know that lilac wind
 Is rolling every new leaf over
 Every new leaf over
 Every new leaf over into bloom
