Leaves

Oh, in a house right by

Where we went to junior high school

This little number I'd seen

Got together when we were 18, oh, oh

We could've grown old together

If it wasn't so dull

If I'd treated her a little bit better

It didn't work out well, so I

Moved along to someone else and

Though I loved her more

Didn't make it past 24, no, no

We could've grown old together

If she wasn't so cold

If she hadn't been a total shredder

Leaves turn to the color of the dawn

And the second you look away

They're thinking of moving on, you know

Leaves turn to the color of the sun

So bright you look away, all the sudden

Then there was this one duplex by

183 and 35

I almost had a wife

Like my dad, he ought to been 29, but no, no

We could've grown old together

If the truth had been told

If I never would've found that letter

Oh, but leaves turn to the color of the dawn

And the second you look away

They're thinking of moving on

You know, leaves turn to the color of the sun

So bright you look away, and all the sudden they're gone

And in the alley between

37th and 38th Street

The woman of my dreams

If only we'd met when we were 18, oh, oh

We could've grown old together

If I'd've been more bold

If I'd've known how to treat her better, and oh, and oh

Leaves turn to the color of the dawn

And the second you look away

They're thinking of moving on

You know, leaves turn to the color of the sun

So bright you look away, and all the sudden they're gone

(All the sudden they're gone)

(And the second you look away they're thinking of moving on)

(Leaves turn)

(All the sudden they're gone)

(Leaves turn to the color of the sun)

(Color of the sun)
