"Simply one of the greatest songwriters alive."--Rolling Stone magazine

I tried to put the chords over the lyrics according to how they change.

 

I walked in my great coat, down through the days of leaves

No before, after, yes, after before

We were shining our light into the days of blooming wonder

In the eternal presence, in the presence of the flame

Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?

Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?

Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?

On and on and on, we kept singing our song

Thru Newtonards and Comber, Gransha and the Ballystockart Road

With Spike and Boffyflow, I said I would describe the leaves for Samuel

& Felicity

Rich, red, browney, half burnt orange and green

Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?

Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?

Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?

It's easy to describe the leaves in the Autumn

And it's oh so easy in the Spring

But down through January and February

It's a very different thing

On and on and on, through the winter of our discontent

When the wind blows up the collar and the ears are frostbitten too

I said I could describe the leaves and what it means to you and me

X D G

You may call my love Sophia, but I call my love philosopy

Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?

Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?

Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?

Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?

Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?

Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?
