Lyrics
Red Leaves
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.
We shuffled our faces
laughing like fish.
Really flip flappin'
We had not a wish.
You said, "Look, the ceiling's down,"
You said it five times
with that beautiful frown
Red leaves whirling
across my lawn
I see you weaving.
What dost thou sew?
You look at the floor.
You say, "I really don't know"
I asked my darlin'
why she talks so slow.
She said, "It's the mud above
and the stars below."
