Am       G             Am        G
  Oh the leaves how they shimmer
Am                 G             Am       G
  Trees lift their skirts and they quiver
Am            G       Am   G
  Gently they lay down
Am       G
  To the dirt and dust and ground

                                              
[Bridge]
 
F                       Em
Lose their innocence to find it all over
F                             Em  
Nothing missing, they're just high on a feeling
F                G                         F    G   Em
All they need is believing, no reason will do

                                              
[Chorus]
 
    Am                  G
I'm hanging on like the last leaves of autumn
        Am                      G               Em
But I'm coming through like the first shoots of spring
        Am                  G
And I'm standing outside of space and time
        Am     G
And I'm healing
Am       G
Believing

                                              
[Bridge]
  
                           F
I'm ready for a first time feeling
Em                F
  Something I can believe in
    Em                     F
I'm ready for a first time feeling
G               Am     G
Awaken sleeping season

                                              
[Piano Solo]

Am G Am G Am G
                                              

[Verse 2]
 
   Am                G              Am      G
If ever that morning came again I'd take it
Am                G                 Am     G
Ever that morning came again I'd be there


                                              
[Bridge]
 
       F                  Em
I have tried to live each day as a last
       F                           Em           G
I have found life is long and I've gone and got past
         F                    Em            F     Em
And it's best to stand in the shelter of my love


                                              
[Chorus]
 
Am                  G
hanging on like the last leaves of autumn
        Am               G
But one ray of sun and I bleed into one
        Am                      G               Am     G
I would light up the sky in one burning mist of flame
           Am                      G                Am     G
If I could light up the sky in one blinding mist of flame


                                              
[Bridge]
  
                       F
ready for a first time feeling
Em                  F
  Something I could believe in
    Em                     F
I'm ready for a first time feeling
G               Am     G
Awaken sleeping season


Am  F
