The Leaf

North of North there stands a lonely tree
On one branch remains one lonely leaf
Shy the sense to see it's time to go
Unimpressed by wind or ice or snow

Look at that fool thing swinging there
Last at the party, bar closed
Anyone else would take the hint
Search for a jacket, then go
Maybe just like that leaf am I
My friends keep moving on
This used to be quite the place to be
It seemed to me, and now they're gone

North of North there stands a lonely tree
On one branch remains one lonely leaf
Shy the sense to see it's time to go
Unimpressed by wind or ice or snow

Traveling on a speeding train
Down to the valley, eyes closed
Knowing that when it jumps the track
One look back, let go
Racing around a twisting bend
With no one left or right
Whose shoulders can be leaned upon
A lonely man is riding on

North of North there stands a lonely tree
On one branch remains one lonely leaf
Shy the sense to see it's time to go
Unimpressed by wind or ice or snow

North of North there stands a lonely tree
On one branch remains one lonely leaf
Shy the sense to see it's time to go
Unimpressed by wind or ice or snow
