Sit by my side come as close as the air
Sharin' a memory of grey
And wander in my words
And dream about the pictures that I play
Of changes
Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall
To brown and to yellow they fade
And then they have to die
Trapped within the circle time parade
Of changes
Moments of magic will glow in the night
All fears of the forest are gone
For when the morning breaks
They're swept away by golden drops of dawn
Of changes
Passions will part to a warm melody
As fires will sometimes turn cold
Like petals in the wind
We're puppets to the silver strings of souls
Of changes
Your tears will be trembling now we're somewhere else
One last cup of wine we will pour
I'll kiss you one more time
And leave you on the rolling river shore
Of changes

Yes, Gordon Lightfoot is actually my favorite male folksinger. I have most of his early stuff and it`s beautiful!

Last part is perfect...

when I first heard this song I totally missed the point. I thought it was about a guy diching his wife- then I read about Phil - he whote it to his wife - who was walking out on him- he didn't want her to leave - but knew he couldn't stop her and wrote this - Wow. A different perspective and its now touching instead of infuriating

I have always loved Gord's version of this song, and have played this song for many years. I love Phil Ochs, but to me, this is the quintessential version. The guitars, the tempo and the voice are perfect..
