Bilingual
We were out in the street,
Trying to get some peace from all the heat.
Why we played that game I forget.
Just chasing all our sunsets.
But a leaf didn't move
Just stayed on a branch
Fixed and still in time.
And your odds won't improve
When you cry that they don't understand
And your leaf wants to choose where it lands
But it's stuck to a tree in some sand
Not blowing wild, blowing wild.
On and on, off he goes,
Looks the part but what would you know?
Always drive your taxi where you please,
But the meter is running and you think that makes you free.
But a leaf doesn't move
Just stayed on a branch
Fixed and still in time.
But it will move, yes it will
When you cry that they don't see your plans
It will bend and break in your hands
And the leaves will come loose as the sand
Scattered far, far and wide.
And your odds won't improve
When you cry that they don't understand
And your leaf wants to choose where it lands
But it's stuck to a tree in some sand
Not blowing free.
A leaf don't move, a leaf don't move.
A leaf don't move, a leaf don't move.
A leaf don't move, a leaf don't move.
A leaf don't move, a leaf don't move.
