Leaves Don't Drop (They Just Let Go) - Carrie Newcomer[00:00:01]
The truth I learned when I was eight[00:00:09]
My dad swam the length of Spirit Lake[00:00:14]
Yeah and It must have been a million miles[00:00:18]
This I knew was true[00:00:23]
My mother sang while hanging clothes[00:00:28]
Her notes weren't perfect heaven knows[00:00:33]
Yeah but heaven opened anyway[00:00:37]
This I knew was true[00:00:42]
'Cause leaves don't drop they just let go[00:00:47]
And make a space for seeds to grow[00:00:53]
And every season brings a change[00:00:59]
A tree is what a seed contains[00:01:01]
To die and live is life's refrain[00:01:04]
I left her with some groceries[00:01:14]
Said "Check the oil and call me please"[00:01:18]
And she said "Hey Ma I'll be just fine"[00:01:22]
This I knew was true[00:01:27]
'Cause leaves don't drop they just let go[00:01:33]
And make a space for seeds to grow[00:01:39]
And every season brings a change[00:01:45]
A tree is what a seed contains[00:01:47]
To die and live is life's refrain[00:01:49]
I've traveled through my history[00:02:04]
From certainty to mystery[00:02:09]
God speaks in rhyme in paradox[00:02:13]
This I know is true[00:02:18]
And finally when my life is through[00:02:23]
And what I am not what I do[00:02:28]
'Cause it comes down to you and your next breath[00:02:32]
This I know is true[00:02:37]
'Cause leaves don't drop they just let go[00:02:42]
And make a space for seeds to grow[00:02:48]
And every season brings a change[00:02:54]
A tree is what a seed contains[00:02:56]
To die and live is life's refrain[00:02:58]
