Bellowhead - What's The Life Of A Man (Any More Than A Leaf?) lyrics

What's the life of a man
Any more than a leaf? Life has it's seasons
So why should there be grief?
Though in this wide world
We appear fine and gay
Like a leaf we shall wither
And soon fade away

As I was a-walking one morning at ease
A-viewing the leaves as they
Fell from the trees
All were in full motion appearing to be
And those that were withered they
Fell from the trees

What's the life of a man
Any more than a leaf? Life has it's seasons
So why should there be grief?
Though in this wide world
We appear fine and gay
Like a leaf we shall wither
And soon fade away

You should have seen the leaves
But a short time ago they all were in full
Motion appearing to grow
'Til the frost came and bit
Them and withered them all
And the storm came upon them
And down they did fall

What's the life of a man
Any more than a leaf? Life has it's seasons
So why should there be grief?
Though in this wide world
We appear fine and gay
Like a leaf we shall wither
And soon fade away

Down in yonder churchyard many
Names you will see
That have fallen from the world like
The leaves from the tree
Old age and affliction upon them did fall
And death and disease came
And blighted them all

What's the life of a man
Any more than a leaf? Life has it's seasons
So why should there be grief?
Though in this wide world
We appear fine and gay
Like a leaf we shall wither
And soon fade away what's the life of a man
Any more than a leaf? Life has it's seasons
So why should there be grief?
Though in this wide world
We appear fine and gay
Like a leaf we shall wither
And soon fade away
Like a leaf we shall wither
And soon fade away
