leaves from the vine(extended).

leaves from the vine,
falling so slow,
like fragile tiny shells,
drifting in the foam.
little soldier boy,
come marching home.
brave soldier boy,
comes marching home.

those leaves did fall,
from branches overgrown.
drifting slowly down,
resting on the loam.
little soldier boy,
taken from home,
forced to fight a war;
that's not his own.

leaves from the vine,
falling so slow,
like fragile tiny shells,
drifting in the foam.
little soldier boy says, "carry me home."
sleeping soldier boy,
is carried home.

-i don't know who wrote the extended version, but for me, the original was more than enough to make me tear. because of this song, i have made episode 35, "tales from ba sing se", my favourite episode of the whole avatar series.
