Lyrics of Autumn song

The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived
The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived

Why didn't you hear me?
All the times i told you that love was gone
No you never heard me
Cause i know there was too much on your mind

Runnin' around in a circle
(tryin' to catch up to myself)
Runnin' out of time

Losin' myself in the darkness
(every time i played my hand)
I was losin' every time

I knew i'd given all that i could give
That's why it had to end this way, this way

The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived
The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived
(before the winds arrived)

I know that i hurt you
At a time you needed me there
Yes, you did, yes, i know
(yes, i know)

But my heart had been broken
And my mind was no longer there
I had to go, yes, i did

Runnin' around in a circle
(tryin' to catch up to myself)
Runnin' out of time

Losin' myself in the darkness
(every time i played my hand)
I was losin' every time

I knew i'd given all that i could give
(i knew i'd given all that i could give)
That's why it had to end this way
(this way)
Had to end this way

The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived
(long before the autumn winds arrived)

The leaves were down
(before the summer sun had gone)
Long before the autumn winds arrived
(im sorry that it had to be this way)

(well, love)
Love was gone

The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived
(long before)

The leaves were down
(the leaves were down)
Long before the autumn winds arrived
(love was gone)

The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived
(love gone, gone, gone, gone)

The leaves were down
(leaves were down)
Long before the autumn winds arrived
(long before, long before)

The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived
The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived
(oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

The leaves were down
(yeah, yeah)
Long before the autumn winds arrived
(so, so long)

Yeah, yeah, down
The leaves were down
