The Leaves of Lórien

[Verse] A pool of silver a mirror of sky The forest breathes where secrets lie Roots that cradle the earth so tight Under the shadows soft as night [Chorus] The leaves of Lórien are falling Hear the whispers calling Through the branches swaying Time is fading [Verse 2] The source of trees where life began An ancient hymn not sung by man Through emerald light the spirits wade In this haven the stars cascade [Prechorus] With the break of dawn they rise Soft murmurs echo in disguise [Chorus] The leaves of Lórien are falling Hear the whispers calling Through the branches swaying Time is fading [Bridge] Not for nothing the leaves descend Each a story the winds defend The green and gold they fade away But their echoes in the heart will stay
