Sandy Denny - The Leaves Of Life Lyrics
All under the leaves and the leaves of lifeI met with virgins sevenAnd one of them was mary mild,Our lord's best mother in heaven.``oh what are you seeking, my seven pretty maids,All under the leaves of life?''``we are seeking for no leaves, thomas,But for a friend of thine.''``go down, go down into yonder townAnd sit in the galleryAnd there you'll see sweet jesus christ,Nailed to a big yew tree.''So down they went into yonder townAnd sat in the galleryAnd there they saw sweet jesus christ,Nailed to a big yew tree.Yes down they went into yonder townAs fast as foot could followAnd many a sad and a lonely tearFrom them virgin's eyes did fall.
