Leaves Of Grass
Gordon Lightfoot
Intro: verse 1: The leaves of grass will not pass on Though the millstones grind them into dust For the earth shall give new life to them But only the grass will grow once more And the brave must fall to honour the names Of the ones who have gone before And the earth shall give new life to them But only the grass will grow once more verse 2: If people could look into each other’s eyes What a wonderful place this world would be All strife would end we could start again And dreams like these must not pass on But the brave keep falling to honour the names Of the ones who have gone before And the earth shall give new life to them But only the grass will grow once more Instrumental: And the brave keep falling to honour the names Of the ones who have gone before And the earth shall give new life to them But only the grass will grow once more verse 3: The leaves of grass will not pass on Though the millstones grind them into dust For the earth shall give new life to them But only the grass will grow once more
