My life is dry
No water to cry
Fallen on the hard ground

Everything's frail
Crisp and stale
Waiting to be found

Then at the last moment
Everything goes silent
Not a single movement
Not a ripple is sent


The wind comes in
Like a rushing wave
Catches me in
My best of days
I can't control where I fall
I can do nothing at all
I get swooped up
And float on the air
I want to give up
But I'm too scared
The ride isn't brief
'Cause my life's a tiny leaf


I land in the dirt
Wounded and hurt
Can't even use my feet

I flap in the cold
With stained colors of gold
Only to have it all repeat

Then at the last moment
Everything goes silent
Not a single movement
Not a ripple is sent


The wind comes in
Like a rushing wave
Catches me in
My best of days
I can't control where I fall
I can do nothing at all
I get swooped up
And float on the air
I want to give up
But I'm too scared
The ride isn't brief
'Cause my life's a tiny leaf


Going place after place
The dirt in your face
Always taking a fall
Always up on the wall
And you feel the ache
Like getting hit by a rake


The wind comes in
Like a rushing wave
Catches me in
My best of days
I can't control where I fall
I can do nothing at all
I get swooped up
and float in the air
I want to give up
But I'm too scared
The ride isn't brief
'Cause my life's a tiny leaf

A tiny leaf

A crumbling leaf

A tiny....
