Never picked a rose that didn′t wither

Never seen a star that didn't shine

Never touched a willow that didn′t shiverIn the winter

Never seen the edges of the water

When the moon was at its height

Never seen a young bird take its maiden flight

Never seen two wrongs ever make a right

But I have seen the road

And I have seen pines

I've seen swinging doors where the ripple wine

Hmm, flows like rivers

Like blood red rivers

Every autumn leaf has to fall

But every tree still stands tall

When the wind blows (blows)

I have seen the road and I have seen pines

I've seen swinging doors where the ripple wine

Hmm, flows like rivers

Like blood red rivers

I have seen rain falling in sheets

I have seen nights where the darkness weeps

Hmm, and I have seen yesterdays (yesterdays)

Falling on yesterdays (yesterdays)
