Leaves

Well, in a house right by
Where we went to junior high school
This little number I'd seen
Got together when we were 18

We could've grown old together
If it wasn't so dull
If I'd treated her a little bit better

It didn't work out well, so I
Moved along to someone else, and
Though I loved her more
Didn't make it past 24

No, no
We could've grown old together
If she wasn't so cold
If she hadn't been a total shredder

Leaves turn to the color of the dawn
And the second you look away
They're thinking of moving on, you know
Leaves turn to the color of the sun
So bright you look away, and all of a sudden

Then there was this one with a duplex by 183 and 35
I almost had a wife
Like my daddy, I'd've been 29

But no, no
We could've grown old together
If the truth had been told
If I never would've found that letter

Leaves turn to the color of the dawn
And the second you look away
They're thinking of moving on
You know, leaves turn to the color of the sun
So bright you look away, and all of a sudden, they're gone

And in the alley between 37th and 38th street
The woman of my dreams
If we'd only met when we were 18

We could've grown old together
If I'd have been more bold
If I'd known how to treat her better

But leaves turn to the color of the dawn
And the second you look away
They're thinking of moving on
You know, leaves turn to the color of the sun
So bright you look away, all of a sudden they're gone
