Last of the leaves, fell today I saw it myself, just down the way The final one fell on my street It went from green, red to grey Now i'm out in the cold and i'm waiting on someone to say Come in by the fire, warm your feet and have something to eat And people are draped, head to toe In a ribbon bow And they get around, in their homes Love is warmer, then coals Now i'm out in the snow and i'm waiting on somebody's hand To help me to she'd all the layers that keeps me hidden And when the ribbon ends, perhaps we'll start again And when the ribbon ends, that's where i began And where the ribbon ends, perhaps we'll meet again And where the ribbon ends, that's where i began And the ground has gone hard, beneath our souls And the day has grown shorter, the night has grown long And i'm outside the door, and i'm looking inside for signs of life A candle, a chord, a chorus, and come inside, come inside And when the ribbon ends, perhaps we'll start again And when the ribbon ends, that's where i began And where the ribbon ends, perhaps we'll meet again And where the ribbon ends, that's where i began I began
