lyrics

words and music by Doug Ward



It’s a warm breeze a’blowin’,

that brings you back to mind;

and I think that there’s a lot that I could say to you…



I see your face a’shinin’ there,

and I wish that you were really here;

come back to me across these many long and lonely miles…



But it’s really just another tale

of one man’s love and how it paled,

after empty promises

and a short while.

And I see you’re just an autumn leaf

on a branch high-out-up-over me,

a single small reminder

of a springtime long ago.



And it’s really just another tale

of one man’s love and how it failed,

after empty promises

and a short while.

And I see you’re just a pretty leaf

in a book that someone pressed for me;

just a dry reminder that

the real thing blew away.



It’s a warm breeze a’blowin’,

that brings you back to mind;

and I think “goodbye”

is all I have to say…
