about

not the sort of song I usually write: the main line was inspired by seeing green leaves lying among golden ones on a walk to local shops last autumn (see photo). Tuning: CGCEGC.

lyrics

there's no reason for our arrival here, and no knowing when we'll go. It's only humans who look for answers - sometimes the green leaves fall before the gold. The council planted a hundred saplings here, most of them thriving and growing old, but some were uprooted by stupid children. I'm not showing off, but I used to volunteer at a local hospice: there's nothing to say.
