Leaves That Are Green (Live at Lincoln Center, NY, January 1967)
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty-three now, but I won't be for long
Time hurries on
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they whither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
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
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they whither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they whither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
Hello, hello
Hello, hello
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
That's all there is
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
I'm twenty-three now, but I won't be for long
Time hurries on
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they whither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
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
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they whither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they whither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
Hello, hello
Hello, hello
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
That's all there is
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
