Apple leaf drifting after a sunny day
The wizard weaves his wondrous way
Suddenly, quietly, he left
La la la la la la la
I don't know why he went away
I don't know why he went away
He didn't say
He didn't say
Carefully painting the stars all black
Carrying them away in his pointy hat
Suddenly, quietly, he left
La la la la la la la
I don't know why he went away
I don't know why he went away
He didn't say
He didn't say
Thoughtfully the large gray dog has made his choice
To follow the wizard and gain his voice
Suddenly, quietly, he left
La la la la la la la
I don't know why he went away
I don't know why he went away
He didn't say
He didn't say
Everyone touched by his magic song
Leaves forever in the wombs of this summer's done
Suddenly, quietly, he left
La la la la la la la
The grass turned gray when he went away
Sadness settled in the wind
Ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh
