The Brothers Four

The green leaves of summer (Audio)

A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer
are calling me home.

't was so good to be young then,
in the season of plenty,
when the catfish were jumping,
as high as the sky.

A time just for planting
A time just for ploughing
A time to be courting 
a girl of your own.

't was so good to be young then,
to be close to the earth,
and to stand by your wife
at the moment of birth.

Instrumental

A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
A time just for living,
a place for to die.

|: 't was so good to be young then,
to be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
are calling me home :|
