Album: FALLING LEAVES (Single)
**************

[Verse 1]
I grew up in this world
I’ve been part of it for as long as I can remember
Now my leaves are falling
I can’t stop it
No one really can
They say my time here is running out
I look out into this world
While my leaves are falling

[Pre-Chorus]
𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝑰 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕
𝑬𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝑰 𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒅
𝑴𝒚 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒓𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒖𝒕
𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝑰 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓

[Chorus]
My leaves are falling
I can’t really stop it
My leaves are falling
My time here is running out
I’m holding your hand
Time will force me to slowly let it go
Not because I want to
But because my leaves are falling

[Verse 2]
What happens to me
In the end, it’s not that important
But what about you?
I hate that I won’t see you grow up
That I have to leave your world so early
That I won’t be the hand
Guiding you into your life
I won’t see
The strong person you will become

[Chorus]
My leaves are falling
I can’t really stop it
My leaves are falling
My time here is running out
I’m holding your hand
Time will force me to slowly let it go
Not because I want to
But because my leaves are falling

[Verse 3]
Your young face makes me smile
Your feet still stumble sometimes
I wish I could hold your hand longer
So you wouldn’t lose your balance while learning to walk

[Chorus (reduced)]
My leaves are falling
I can’t really stop it
My leaves are falling
I’m holding your hand
Time will force me to slowly let it go
Not because I want to
But because my leaves are falling

[Bridge]
I won’t be able to walk your path much longer
I’m grateful for the time I was allowed to walk it with you
Soon I’ll have to let go of your little hand
And hope someone else will guide it with love

My roots are withering far too fast
My leaves are carried away by the wind

I touch your small face
I wish I could look at it so much longer
Hear your laughter
See your smile

[Verse 4]
There are things I can’t tell you yet
Things I hope I’ll never have to tell you
Right now, I have to be strong for both of us

But my leaves are falling
And I can’t change it

You will walk, I know that
even when the wind takes all my leaves
When the early autumn of my life has taken me
And I place the coins into the ferryman’s hand

[Outro]
I will keep turning back for a long time
Hoping you’re doing well
Hoping this world will never break you
Even when my hand can’t guide you anymore

When my last leaf drifts in the wind
That leaf will be for you

Hold it close to your heart
I’ll be waiting for you at the gates of twilight

Hoping you’ll forgive me
For not taking better care of myself

My leaves are falling
Far too fast
My leaves are falling
Becoming one with the wind
