Steeleye Span - What's the Life of a Man? lyrics
[Steeleye Span - What's the Life of a Man? lyrics]
As I was a-walking one morning at ease
A viewing the leaves as they
Fell from the trees
All in slow motion appearing to be
Like those that had withered
They fell from the trees
And if you'd seen those trees
Just a few days ago
How beautiful and green they
All seemed to grow
But a frost came upon them
And withered them all
And a storm came upon them
And down they did fall
What's the life of a man any more than a leaf
A man has his seasons
So why should we grieve
Although in this world
We appear finе and gay
Like a leaf we must withеr and soon fade away
If you look in the churchyard
It's there you will see
Those that have passed like a
Leaf from the tree
When age and affliction upon them did fall
Like a leaf they did wither
And down they did fall
What's the life of a man any more than a leaf
A man has his seasons
So why should we grieve
Although in this world
We appear fine and gay
Like a leaf we must wither and soon fade away
What's the life of a man?
A viewing the leaves as they
Fell from the trees
All in slow motion appearing to be
Like those that had withered
They fell from the trees
And if you'd seen those trees
Just a few days ago
How beautiful and green they
All seemed to grow
But a frost came upon them
And withered them all
And a storm came upon them
And down they did fall
What's the life of a man any more than a leaf
A man has his seasons
So why should we grieve
Although in this world
We appear finе and gay
Like a leaf we must withеr and soon fade away
If you look in the churchyard
It's there you will see
Those that have passed like a
Leaf from the tree
When age and affliction upon them did fall
Like a leaf they did wither
And down they did fall
What's the life of a man any more than a leaf
A man has his seasons
So why should we grieve
Although in this world
We appear fine and gay
Like a leaf we must wither and soon fade away
What's the life of a man?
