Flower days have to wait Sunshine through the filtered haze We settle down and wonder About the rhymes we've known since nine How they've changed the way we see In the dark you and me We could feel but not see And we were so young And we were in need But we just couldn't care In the time of blue leaves Through the door open wide Well we put aside our only pride And we settle down our hunger In the dark you and me We could feel but not see And we were so young And we were in need But we just couldn't care In the time of blue leaves Baby in that night Gently by the firelight Well we settle down to dream Beyond the walls and beyond the seams I see my love in green In the dark you and me We could fell but not see And we were so young And we were in need But we just couldn't care In the time of blue leaves And we were so young And we were in need But we just couldn't care In the time of blue leaves
