Oh the moon hangs down 
Like some old evening gown 
Forgotten by some lovely southern maiden 

Oh the stars are her tears 
And the sky a skin of years 
That she has most graciously given 

Now who am I 
To think that she might bat an eye 
At my heart that lay so dangerously open 

'Neath the sweet magnolia tree 
The world's a fragrant memory 
And the lady of the night has finally spoken 

She cries, oh, you are a leaf that the wind blows 
And you drift from place to place and you never know 
Well is it here that I will stay? 
Child, you must be on your way 
For you are now, but you know nothing of your sorrow 

So I hover in the breath 
Between the birthday and the death 
And the hummingbird, he hovers o're the flower 

Though the end is just a guest 
From one moment to the next 
I keep thinking there will be a final hour 

She cries, oh, you are a leaf that the wind blows 
And you drift from place to place and you never know 
Well is it here that I will stay? 
Child, you must be on your way 
For you are now, but you know nothing of tomorrow 

She cries, oh, you are a leaf that the wind blows 
And you drift from place to place and you never know 
Well is it here that I will stay? 
Child, you must be on your way
