Green Leaf

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Green leaf, green leaf

are you scared

when the wild storms blow?

When you look out

over the thunder

do you ever want to go

over the world on a

wild green wind-green leaf do you know?

Up in the mountains

there's no one home

but the deer and the mice and the snow.

Up in the mountains

where the wild sheep roam

is where I want to go-

I'll hike away with my lunch in a sack

and I'll never come back below

Red berries grow every other year

so heavy on the tree-

when they are ripe, my enemy comes

and he throws them all at me-

but I crawl in to my wooden fort

and I weather the war safely.
