Lyrics:

As I was a walking one morning at ease
A watching the leaves as they fell from the trees,
All in slow motion appearing to be
Those that had withered, they fell from the trees
Chorus
What's the life of a man anymore than the leaves
A man has his seasons, so why should we grieve.
Though all thru this life, we appear fine and gay
Like the leaves we will wither and soon fade away.
If you'd seen the leaves just a few days ago
So beautiful and green they all seemed to grow.
A frost came upon them and withered them all.
A storm blew upon them and down they did fall.
Chorus
Look in the churchyard and there you will see
Those that have fallen like leaves from the trees.
When age and affliction upon us do call
Like the leaves we must wither and down we must fall.
Chorus
