Green Leaves Of Summer

The Brothers Four

The green leaves of summer
A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer
Are calling me home
Was so good to be young then
In the season of plenty

As high as the sky

Are calling me home "
It was so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home
