A French song by Joseph Kosma and Jacques Prévert, with English words by Johnny Mercer; the fourth track on Shadows in the Night.
The words
Falling leaves in autumn bring back memories of a summer love that is now gone for good.
The singer watches the leaves drift past a window and is reminded of a lover who has left, and of the summer they shared. It is a short, simple song built on the image of the changing season as a measure of passing time and fading love. Dylan sings it very slowly and quietly, letting the melody carry the sadness, while the band keeps to a soft, sparse accompaniment.
