When all the leaves are brown and fallen to the floor
Been whipped up by the wind and blown around your door
Then I'll come down from here. Whisper gently dear
Didn't we say it would stay green this year. When we were just beginning here.
A frost the gently thaws and crumbles underfoot
A sheer of misty glass that melts around your shoes
A shaft of burning light that melts the coldest mood
Til I come back to you. Whisper gently dear
Didn't we say it would stay green this year. When we were just beginning here
Remember how we swept lost leaves from around those trees
Only fools think love is evergreen
