When the Leaves Come Falling Down

Van Morrison

I saw you standing with the wind and the rain in your face And you were thinking 'bout the wisdom of the leaves and their grace When the leaves come falling down In September when the leaves, come falling down

And at night the moon is shining on a clear, cloudless sky And when the evening shadows fall I'll be there by your side When the leaves come falling down In September when the leaves, come falling down

Follow me down, follow me down, follow me down To the place beside the garden and the wall Follow me down, follow me down To the space before the twilight and the dawn

Oh, the last time I saw Paris in the streets, in the rain And as I walk along the boulevards with you, once again And the leaves come falling down In September, when the leaves come falling down

Follow me down, follow me down, follow me down To the place between the garden and the wall Follow me down, follow me down To the space between the twilight and the dawn

And as I'm looking at the colour of the leaves, in your hand As we're listening to Chet Baker on the beach, in the sand When the leaves come falling down, Oh in September, when the leaves come falling down Oh when the leaves come falling down Yeah in September when the leaves come falling down

When the leaves come falling down In September, when the leaves come falling down

When the leaves come falling down in September, in the rain When the leaves come falling down

When the leaves come falling down in September, in the rain When the leaves come falling down

History:

September was the seventh month of the original Roman calendar. This is where it got its name which means

seventh. Later, when January and February were added to the calendar it became the ninth month.

When the British changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar in 1752, they needed to adjust

some days to get the seasons aligned with the months. They took 11 days from the month of September jump-

ing directly from September 3rd to the 14th. Now it's as if the days between September 3 and 13 during 1752

never happened in British history.

Fun Facts about September

• It is the first month of the Autumn or Fall season.

• American college and professional football begins during the month of September.

• Many kids begin the school year during this month. (Maybe not this year)

The Anglo-Saxons also called this month Gerst Monath meaning barley month. This is because they would harvest their barley crops during this month.

September is often associated with fire because it was the month of the Roman god Vulcan. Vulcan

was the Roman god of fire and the forge.
