There was a time All things being equal When you and I Rose above the clouds We couldn’t fly But that didn’t matter It was all in our minds All in our minds You sang the blues I would write country But you wouldn’t sing The songs I wrote I wrote Four Little Leaves For the poor girl From Dublin You shed a tear On our way home But we didn’t walk The whole road together We didn’t talk For most of the way You turned off Before we got To the station Just a slip and a slide And you walked away There was a time When all things were equal Just a slip and a slide And you walked away Four little leaves Just a slip and a slide Just a slip and a slide And you walked away

Four little leaves Here in my hand I got lucky Right here where I stand Four little leaves Four little leaves Me I have nothing Came from nowhere I don't have dreams I wouldn't dare Now I have something This blessing I've found Only because my eyes were cast down Only because I was on the ground Four little leaves Four little leaves

The last thing she said at the airport Was quietly under her breath Spoken to no-one listening, no-one there One hand on her belly One had pulled her case Clattered across the floor to the gate Last and final call Last and final call Last and final call No more Sticks and stones Bricks and bats The scratching wounds of online chat The life below The life you know The seed you sow The life that grows The last thing she said at the airport I wish I'd heard it then But I couldn't face goodbye Last and final call ... She scanned her boarding pass The gates flapped to let her through I wonder if she looked back I think not Maybe she looked down on us From a window seat up there Watching the chains of country Fall away Last and final call ...
