Autumn Leaves Are Falling Lyrics - Clannad

Autumn leaves are falling 'round us 

Time to gather all those many thoughts 

Of all the things that might have been 

Or gained at such a cost 

For some of us there's endless hoping 

For some of us craziness too 

Holding on to better reasons 

Works for me and you, you know it's true 

And when the stakes are higher 

Never play with fire, leave it alone 

I wandered through a country churchyard 

And wandered what kind of life they led 

Walked into a castle ruin 

Of gentry that had fled 

For some of them had endless hoping 

Some of them crazy too 

Holding on to better reasons 

We'll never truly know, oh 

Those trees will tumble down on a stormy day 

And those leaves will fade away, fade away 

The autumn leaves are falling 'round us 

I'm here to gather all my many thoughts 

Of all the things that might have been 

As the ground has turned to frost 

Leaves are falling 

Autumn leaves are falling 

Leaves are falling 

Autumn leaves are falling
