Letra de Leaves Don't Drop (They Just Let Go)

The truth I learned when I was eight
My dad swam the length of Spirit Lake
Yeah and It must have been a million miles
This I knew was true
My mother sang while hangin' clothes
Her notes weren't perfect heaven knows
Yeah, but heaven opened anyway
This I knew was true
Cause leaves don't drop they just let go
And make a space for seeds to grow
And every season brings a change
A tree is what a seed contains
To die and live is life's refrain
I left her with some groceries
Said, "Check the oil and call me please"
And she said " Hey, Ma I'll be just fine"
This I knew was true
Cause leaves don't drop they just let go
And make a space for seeds to grow
And every season brings a change
A tree is what a seed contains
To die and live is life's refrain
I've traveled through my history
From certainty to mystery
God speaks in rhyme in paradox
This I know is true
And finally when my life is through
And what I am not what I do
Cause it comes down to you and your next breath
This I know is true
Cause leaves don't drop they just let go
And make a space for seeds to grow
And every season brings a change
A tree is what a seed contains
To die and live is life's refrain
