Generate meaning
1
Oh the moon hangs down
2
Like some old evening gown
3
Forgotten by some lovely southern maiden
4
Oh the stars are her tears
5
And the sky a skin of years
6
That she has most graciously given
7
Now who am I
8
To think that she might bat an eye
9
At my heart that lay so dangerously open
10
'Neath the sweet magnolia tree
11
The world's a fragrant memory
12
And the lady of the night has finally spoken
13
CHORUS:
14
She cries, oh, you are a leaf that the wind blows
15
And you drift from place to place and you never know
16
Well is it here that I will stay?
17
Child, you must be on your way
18
For you are now, but you know nothing of your sorrow
19
So I hover in the breath
20
Between the birthday and the death
21
And the hummingbird, he hovers o're the flower
22
Though the end is just a guest
23
From one moment to the next
24
I keep thinking there will be a final hour
25
She cries, oh, you are a leaf that the wind blows
26
And you drift from place to place and you never know
27
Well is it here that I will stay?
28
Child, you must be on your way
29
For you are now, but you know nothing of tomorrow
30
She cries, oh, you are a leaf that the wind blows
31
And you drift from place to place and you never know
32
Well is it here that I will stay?
33
Child, you must be on your way
