Lyrics Patti Smith

Patti Smith

Wild Leaves

Wild leaves are falling

Falling to the ground

Every leaf a moment

A light upon the crown

That we'll all be wearing

In a time unbound

And wild leaves are falling

Falling to the ground

Every word that's spoken

Every word decreed

Every spell that's broken

Every golden deed

All the parts we're playing

Binding as the reed

And wild leaves are falling

Wild wild leaves

As the campfire's burning

As the fire ignites

All the moments turning

In the stormy bright

Well enough the churning

When enough believe

The coming and the going

Wild wild leaves

Wild wild leaves

Wild wild leaves
