carrie newcomer - leaves don't drop they just let go lyrics
the truth i learned when i was eight
my dad swam the length of spirit lake
yeah and it must have been a million miles
this i knew was true
my mother sang while hangin’ clothes
her notes weren’t perfect heaven knows
yeah, but heaven opened anyway
this i knew was true
’cause leaves don’t drop they just let go
and make a sp-ce for seeds to grow
and every season brings a change
a tree is what a seed contains
to die and live is life’s refrain
i left her with some groceries
said, “check the oil and call me please”
and she said ” hey, ma i’ll be just fine”
this i knew was true
’cause leaves don’t drop they just let go
and make a sp-ce for seeds to grow
and every season brings a change
a tree is what a seed contains
to die and live is life’s refrain
i’ve traveled through my history
from certainty to mystery
god speaks in rhyme in paradox
this i know is true
and finally when my life is through
and what i am not what i do
’cause it comes down to you and your next breath
this i know is true
’cause leaves don’t drop they just let go
and make a sp-ce for seeds to grow
and every season brings a change
a tree is what a seed contains
to die and live is life’s refrain
