(chorus) The leaves were down Long before the autumn winds arrived The leaves were down Long before the autumn winds arrived Why didn't you hear me All the times I told you that love was gone No you never heard me ‘Cause I know there was too much on your mind (refrain) Runnin' around in a circle, (tryin' to catch up to myself) Runnin' out of time Losin' myself in the darkness, (every time I played my hand) I was losin' every time I knew I'd given all that I could give That's why it had to end this way, (this way) (repeat chorus) I know that I hurt you At a time you needed me there Yes you did, yes I know (yes I know) But my heart had been broken And my mind was no longer there I had to go, yes I did (repeat refrain) (The leaves were down Long before the autumn winds arrived) Long before the autumn winds arrived (The leaves were down) Before the summer sun had gone (Long before the autumn winds arrived) I'm sorry that it had to be this way... Love was gone... (repeat chorus)
