The Turning Leaves

Verse 1

The leaves are turning gold again The chill rides in the air Another chapter closing down With no one left to care Does the autumn wind remind you Of the stories left untold? Is it just the season changing Or the truth of growing old?

Verse 2

The silver strands upon your head Like threads of time they shine You wonder if the road ahead Is shorter than behind You feel it in the quiet You hear it in the breeze That winter’s not so far now It’s falling with the leaves

Chorus

From leafless trees and quiet skies We know what’s coming soon The evening’s long, the fire low We’re dancing to a softer tune But don’t mistake this fading light For sorrow, loss, or fear There’s peace beneath the silence When the end is drawing near

Bridge

Sleep will come like snowfall Gentle on the ground And in the hush of twilight The soul lays its burdens down

Chorus

From leafless trees and quiet skies We know what’s coming soon The evening’s long, the fire low We’re dancing to a softer tune But don’t mistake this fading light For sorrow, loss, or fear There’s peace beneath the silence When the end is drawing near

Outro

The leaves are gold, the sky is gray But it’s just another day Another step, a breath, a sigh And then we drift away…
