Last Leaf - Cover of the song by Tom Waits

This is a song written by Tom Waits. However, when singing it I kept thinking of other lyrics that could go with it. So, I have added those here. Tom, if you ever hear this, hope you like it. If not, just tell me and I'll take it down.

Here are the lyrics:

Last Leaf – Tom Waits

I’m the last leaf on the tree
Old man autumn took the rest but he won’t take me
I’m the last leaf on the tree
When the autumn wind blows
They’re already gone
They flutter to the ground
Cause they can’t hang on
There’s nothing in the world
That I ain’t seen
I greet all the new ones that are coming in green

I’m the last leaf on the tree
Where there once was a crowd, now there’s solitary me
I’m the last leaf on the tree
I’ve got true staying power
Up here on the tree
From my lonely wooden tower
I command all I can see
From my mountains to my valleys
From my deserts to my seas
I see endless skies of blue and forests full of leafless trees

But I’m still here, the last one alive
The last one to resist, to persist and survive
I’m the last leaf on the tree
Through the wind and the rain
Through the snow, sleet and hail
I persist and hold on
I’m too stubborn to fail
I’ll be here through eternity
If you want to know how long
If they cut down this tree
I’ll show up in a song

I’m the last leaf on the tree
Golden autumn took the rest but he won’t take me
I’m the last leaf on the tree
I’m the last leaf on the tree
I’m the last leaf on the tree
