Lyrics Leaves That Are Green (Live) - Simon & Garfunkel
I
was
twenty-one
years
when
I
wrote
this
song
I'm
twenty-three
now,
but
I
won't
be
for
long
Time
hurries
on
And
the
leaves
that
are
green
turn
to
brown
And
they
whither
with
the
wind
And
they
crumble
in
your
hand
Once
my
heart
was
filled
with
love
of
a
girl
I
held
her
close,
but
she
faded
in
the
night
Like
a
poem
I
meant
to
write
And
the
leaves
that
are
green
turn
to
brown
And
they
whither
with
the
wind
And
they
crumble
in
your
hand
I
threw
a
pebble
in
a
brook
And
watched
the
ripples
run
away
And
they
never
made
a
sound
And
the
leaves
that
are
green
turn
to
brown
And
they
whither
with
the
wind
And
they
crumble
in
your
hand
Hello,
hello
Hello,
hello
Goodbye,
goodbye
Goodbye,
goodbye
That's
all
there
is
And
the
leaves
that
are
green
turn
to
brown
