"Dead Leaves" 是由Sufjan Stevens演唱的一首歌曲，這首歌的歌詞如下：
Verse 1:
Everybody's gone
Dead leaves on the trees
Beneath the ground
Somewhere to be
And so they say
To go away
Chorus:
And so they cry
In the cold November air
Where are you now
The days of fire and air
You were a child
But now you're here
In the ground beneath the dead leaves
Verse 2:
It's not the same
No more children play
And so they cry
In the cold November air
Where are you now
The days of fire and air
You were a child
But now you're here
In the ground beneath the dead leaves
Chorus:
And so they cry
In the cold November air
Where are you now
The days of fire and air
You were a child
But now you're here
In the ground beneath the dead leaves
Your name is lost to time
Your memory fades in dreams
But I will always remember you
Beneath the dead leaves
Beneath the dead leaves
Bridge:
I will remember you
Beneath the dead leaves
Your memory fades in dreams
But I will always remember you
I will remember you forever more
Forever more, forever more
Forever more, forever more...
Chorus:
And so they cry
In the cold November air
Where are you now?
The days of fire and air.
You were a child.
But now you're here.
In the ground beneath the dead leaves.
(x2)
Outro:
I will remember you.
Beneath the dead leaves.
Forever and ever.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
(x2)
Oh yeah.
Yeah yeah.
Oh yeah... (x2)
這段歌詞講述的是生命的流逝，童年的消逝，和深埋地下的枯葉（逝者）。這就像在向每一個曾經的我們表達我們都有死亡，都是一片死去的葉子。但我們知道我們依然活在人們的心中，被他們珍藏在記憶中。這些記憶就像枯葉一樣，雖然已經死去，但依然存在。
