Song | Peaceful Waters |
Artist | Gordon Lightfoot |
Album | United Artists Collection, The |
The dead leaves of autumn | |
That cling so desperately | |
Must fly before the cold october winds | |
Their simple lives have ended | |
Must they be born to die again | |
Oh may the light of freedom shine | |
For all the world to see | |
And peace and joy to all mankind | |
Through all the years to be | |
For soon the leaves will die | |
And the long hard wind will blow | |
May this world find a resting place | |
Where the peaceful waters flow |
