Leaves That Are Green (Live at Lincoln Center, New York City, NY - January 1967)

Leaves That Are Green (Live) - Simon & Garfunkel

Written by：P. Simon

I was twenty-one years when

I wrote this song

I'm twenty-three now but

I won't be for long

Time hurries on

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand

Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl

I held her close but she faded in the night

Like a poem I meant to write

And the leaves that are green turn to brown

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand

I threw a pebble in a brook

And watched the ripples run away

And they never made a sound

And the leaves that are green turned to brown

And they wither with the wind

And they crumble in your hand

Hello hello hello hello

Good-bye good-bye

Good-bye good-bye

That's all there is

And the leaves that are green turned to brown
