We are but falling leaves lyrics

Think of your lifetime as one day

It's fading away

The shadows are growing long

Think of existence as a flame and death as rain

Storm clouds - they ride along

At life's eve our flames will cease

Eternally, unavoidably

Eventually all paths will lead

To the cemetery

We are but falling leaves in the air hovering down

On our way we are spinning around

Scattered fragments of time

Like beams of the light we are

That's all we are

Think of your lifetime as one year

Look autumn is here

Getting colder, the winter's impending

Your conclusion's drawing near - certain, austere.

Yes, only the circle's unending.

At life's eve our flames will cease

Eternally, unavoidably

Eventually, all paths will lead to the cemetery

To the prior deceased

We are but falling leaves in the air hovering down

On our way we will hit the ground

Scattered fragments of time

Like beams of the light we are

Just when we realize that we are alive, we die
