Music album: Women From Venus Singer: Noga Rotem Narder Song writer: Noga Rotem Narder Music arranger and composer: Noga Rotem Narder Music producer: Noga Rotem Narder Black Leaves - Lyrics: Verse 1: We had a garden, you and I, green at first, then something died. You held my hand but looked away, said the words, but wouldn’t stay. I gave you love, I gave you care, you gave me silence in the air. I wanted close, I wanted true, you wanted me when it suited you. Pre-Chorus: I felt it change, I felt it fall, love shouldn’t hurt like this at all. Chorus: Black leaves falling from our love, I gave my heart, it wasn’t enough. Black leaves under where you stand, I’m walking out, my life, my land. Say it loud, sing it free, this was never love for me. Black leaves, let them fall, I choose myself, I choose it all. Verse 2: I wanted laughter, skin and soul, late-night talks, a steady hold. You stayed distant, safe and cold, half a truth, half being told. I tried to grow what wouldn’t bloom, you watched it fade, you left the room. I asked for “us”, you chose just you, that’s when my leaving finally grew. Pre-Chorus: Some hearts don’t know how to stay, they only take, then walk away. Chorus: Black leaves falling from our love, I gave my heart, it wasn’t enough. Black leaves under where you stand, I’m walking out, my life, my land. Say it loud, sing it free, this was never love for me. Black leaves, let them fall, I choose myself, I choose it all. Bridge: This was my garden, my ground, my name, I won’t burn it to keep you the same. I’ve got seasons, I’ve got light, I’m still standing, I’m alright. Final Chorus: Black leaves falling from our love, now I know I’m strong enough. Black leaves, I let them go, I grow colors, I still grow. Hands up, voice free, this is who I’m meant to be. Black leaves, end of pain, my garden’s gonna bloom again. Outro: (soft, calm) The leaves fell… but I stayed.
