An excellent collaboration Carroll, wonderful song, lyrics and music outstanding.
Easy listening, a bit like van Morrison, enjoyed it very much.
I'd post the lyrics before your told to.

The turning of the leaves
Verse
The passing of the seasons
Have brought me to my knees;
Changed the way I look at life,
The turning of the leaves.
The failure of my wisdom.
All that I didn’t see.
It is all a part of life,
The turning of the leaves.
Chorus
Foolish expectations,
Unrealistic dreams.
Unfulfilled fantasies
of how I pictured me.
It’s all a part of life;
The turning of the leaves.
It’s all a part of life;
The turning of the leaves.
Verse
I look at life in new ways.
See things I’ve never seen.
No longer have fantasies
Of how things should be.
I’ve seen the way the leaves fall
Like sacrificial lambs.
Their death a necessity.
Part of a greater plan.
Chorus
Foolish expectations,
Unrealistic dreams.
Unfulfilled fantasies
of how I pictured me.
It’s all a part of life;
The turning of the leaves.
It’s all a part of life;
The turning of the leaves.
Bridge
The wind blows they rustle.
A few fall at a time.
I know that no day soon
A child will rake up mine.
Verse
The passing of the seasons
Have brought me to my knees.
Changed the way I look at life.
They’ve got me to believe.
Look at me I’m beautiful
Though I’m no longer green.
I’ve learned to appreciate
The turning of the leaves.

That's wonderful. Very sophisticated feel. Your pal Ian has done a great job, and done justice to your lyrics.
And thanks for posting those, it really does help.
