Changes Songtext
von Gordon Lightfoot

Sit by my side, come as close as the air
Share in a memory of gray and wander in my words
And dream about the pictures that I play of changes

Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall
To brown and to yellow they fade
But then they have to die
Trapped within the circle time parade of changes


Moments of magic will glow in the night
All fears of the forest are gone
But when the morning breaks
They′re swept away by golden drops of dawn, of changes

Passions will part to a warm melody
As fires will sometimes turn cold
Like petals in the wind
We're puppets to the silver strings of souls, of changes

Your tears will be trembling, now we′re somewhere else
One last cup of wine we will pour
I'll kiss you one more time
And leave you on the rolling river shore of changes
