THE LEAVES KEEP CHANGING COLOURS

I’ve had friends I thought were golden
But they only let me down
In my times of greatest sorrow
Not one friend could be found
I’ve had love that I could borrow
Today but not tomorrow
I’ve cried tears that burned my face
And tears are sad to waste
Now the years are windblown pages
And my hair has turned to gray
It’s strange how love comes and goes
Yet always fades away
New wounds cut just as deep
When promises don’t keep
Memories are frozen in their frame
Inside life’s hurting game
The leaves keep changing colours
And life is almost gone
I can feel the chill of winter
With it’s wind so swift and strong
The days of fleeting sunshine
Are gone, they just flew by
Friends are lost and so are lovers
And the leaves are fading colours
Yes the leaves keep changing colours
Passing swiftly through the years.
Changing friends and changing lovers
Til all that’s left are tears.
