Well, strike me down if you wish   For never wanting you for long   Seasons change, oh, so do I go   Empty promises fool my songs      A cold wind's bending the morning   And the back-road bears the pain   I came with the gift of a new day   See, I leave with a gift of rain      And see two leaves falling   See they kiss, then drift away   And it's true, I really wanted you   And it's true, I really wanted you   Just yesterday...      I can see your eyes made for their crying   Like a star was made to shine   My face was meant to bear knowledge   Empty promises, fool lies      And see two leaves falling   See they kiss, then drift away   And it's true, I really wanted you   And it's true, I really wanted you   Just yesterday...      So let us strike out   Touch the new day   Let our bruises meet there   Like them, the rain has forsaken   We will need the greatest care      And see two leaves falling   See they kiss, then drift away   And it's true, I really wanted you   And it's true, I really wanted you   Just yesterday...      Strike me down if you wish   For not wanting you for long   Seasons turn, so do I go   Empty promises fool my songs
