Leaves That Are Green Lyrics - Live 1969 - Simon And Garfunkel

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song 

I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long 

Time hurries on 

And the leaves that are green turn to brown 

And they whither with the wind 

And they crumble in your hand 

Once my heart was filled with 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 whither 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 turn to brown 

And they whither with the wind 

And they crumble in your hand

Goodbye, goodbye 

Goodbye, goodbye 

That's all there is 

And the leaves that are green turn to brown
