Fallen Leaves

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down in the yonder valley where the roses fade and bloom I buried my lovely Annie so lonesome in her tomb The morning light was fading there I sat and grieved With the thousand and thousand of fallen leaves [Verse 2] She died without a warning she didn't even make a sound Although my heart is breaking in Gloryland she's bound I'll live my life in morning all along the trees And the thousands and thousands of fallen leaves [Verse 3] The birds they sing in the morning but lonesome is their song Ever since she left me the nights have been so long Lord don't you hear me calling, Lord won't you set me free Like the thousands and thousands of fallen leaves [Verse 4] I'm torn and I'm broken, I'm lonesome and so blue On the 14th day of April, I was gonna marry you But now you're dead and you're buried all among the trees And the thousands and thousands of fallen leaves And the thousands and thousands of fallen leaves [Outro] (wind blowing)
