Danny Malone - Leaves

In a house right by
Where we went to junior high school
This little number I seen
Got together when we were eighteen

We coulda grown old together
If it wasn’t so dull
If I’d treated her a little bit better

It didn’t work out well
So I moved along to someone else and
Though I loved her more
Didn’t make it past twenty-four

And no, no oh, mmmmmmm

We coulda grown old together
If she wasn’t so cold
If she hadn’t been a total shredder

Leaves turn to the color of the dawn
And the second you look away
They’re thinkin’ of movin’ on ya know
Leaves turn to the color of the sun
So bright you look away and
All of a sudden . . .

Then there was this one in the duplex
By 183 and 35
I almost had a wife
Like my dad he oughta been twenty-nine

But no, no oh, mmmmmmm

We coulda grown old together
If the truth had been told
If I never woulda found that letter

Leaves turn to the color of the dawn
And the second you look away
They’re thinkin’ of movin’ on ya know
Leaves turn to the color of the sun
So bright you look away and
All of a sudden they’re gone!

And in the alley between 37th and 38th street
The woman of my dreams
If we only met when we were eighteen

We coulda grown old together
If I’d a been more bold
If I’d known how to treat her better

Leaves turn to the color of the dawn
And the second you look away
They’re thinkin’ of movin’ on ya know
Leaves turn to the color of the sun
So bright you look away and
All of a sudden they’re gone!

All of a sudden they're gone!

All of a sudden they're gone!
