[00:00.423]There's a red leaf that falls from a purpletree it falls it floats Ddown
[00:07.738]One red leaf against a clear blue sky it floats down
[00:16.060]Past the marbles in the clearing
[00:19.076]Beneath the geese in flight
[00:20.584]To the darkening river in the autumn light
[00:25.609]Where it touches down
[00:30.910]Oh like a great bird landing
[00:35.204]Tears of autumn
[00:40.493]There's a white tent that sits in the middle of a raft that floats down
[00:50.083]Floats down the middle of a river, of a stream, floating down
[00:57.410]And the tears streaming from the mind's eye
[01:02.208]Streaming back beyond the white sheets that flap and fly
[01:06.743]Oh tears of wanting

[02:42.305]The white tent the raft
[02:46.096]Fists and chests
[02:52.671]And when it's not our great overcoat
[02:54.686]It's a grey and yellow dress
[02:58.476]So beautiful the bees they followed you through the mall
[03:02.255]To the clearing in the wilderness
[03:08.232]And you lay down and I picked you up
[03:13.768]And I said you must never leave
[03:15.776]Your beautiful hands like knitting needles
[03:19.292]And I said-It's jane it's Me
[03:23.058]She said-when you go that's when you go

[03:48.559]Floats down the middle of a river, of a stream, floating down
[03:56.142]And the tears streaming from the mind's eye
[04:00.185]Streaming back beyond the white sheets that flap and fly
[04:04.987]Oh tears of hardness
