Meat Puppets - Leaves Lyrics

ONE DAY AS DUSK WAS NEARING
I SAW SOMETHING I THOUGHT WAS WORTH HEARING
SOMETHING I KNEW ALL ALONG
NOW LISTEN TO MY NEW YEAR'S SONG
WHO EVER MADE UP THE CALENDAR WAS WRONG
IT'S NEW YEAR'S ALL YEAR LONG
EACH YEAR IS A MINUTE
ONLY FULL OF THE LEAVES IN IT
NOW DADDY SAID THIS TO HIS SON
I KNOW FOR SURE THIS CAN BE DONE
WELL COVER UP OUR TRACKS AND THEN
WALK BACK THE OTHER WAY AGAIN
ONE DAY IN A FOREST CLEARING
I SAW DIFFERENT THING APPEARING
AND NOW IT'S BEEN AROUND SO LONG
NOW LISTEN TO MY NEW YEAR'S SONG
