Leaves Lyrics - Mirage - Meat Puppets

One afternoon as dusk was nearing 

I saw something I thought worth hearing 

Something that's been around so long 

Now listen to my new year's song 

Who ever made up the calendar was wrong 

It's new years all year long 

Each year is a minute 

Only full of the leaves in it 

Now Daddy said this to his son 

I know for sure this can be done 

We'll cover up our tracks and then 

Walk back the other way again 

Who ever made up the calendar was wrong 

It's new years all year long 

Each year is a minute 

Only full of the leaves in it 

One day in a forest clearing 

I saw different things appearing 

And now it's been around so long 

Now listen to my new years song
