Autumn leaves are falling 'round us
 Time to gather all those many thoughts
 Of all the things that might have been

 Or gained at such a cost
 For some of us there's endless hoping

 For some of us craziness too
 Holding on to better reasons
 Works for me and you, you know it's [bad word] 

 And when the stakes are higher
 Never play with fire

 Leave it alone

 I wandered through a country churchyard
 And wandered what kind of life they led
 Walked into a [bad word] 

 Of gentry that had fled
 For some of them they had endless hoping
 For some of them crazy too

 Holding on to better reasons

 We'll never [bad word] know
 Those trees will tumble down
 On a stormy day

 And those leaves will fade away, fade away

 The autumn leaves are falling 'round us
 I'm here to gather all my many thoughts
 Of all the things that might have been

 As the ground has turned to frost

 Leaves are falling, Autumn leaves are falling...
