Deciduous means "falling off at maturity" or "tending to fall off", and it is typically used in order to refer to trees or shrubs that lose their leaves seasonally (most commonly during autumn) and to the shedding of other plant structures such as petals after flowering or fruit when ripe. In a more general sense, deciduous means "the dropping of a part that is no longer needed" or "falling away after its purpose is finished". In plants it is the result of natural processes. "Deciduous" has a similar meaning when referring to animal parts, such as deciduous antlers in deer or deciduous teeth, also known as baby teeth, in some mammals (including humans).
In botany and horticulture, deciduous plants, including trees, shrubs and herbaceous perennials, are those that lose all of their leaves for part of the year. This process is called abscission. In some cases leaf loss coincides with winter — namely in temperate or polar climates. In other parts of the world, including tropical, subtropical, and arid regions, plants lose their leaves during the dry season or other seasons, depending on variations in rainfall.

Every now and then - I wake up
In different rooms
Light a cigarette, strawberry
tea and sing the blues
Somehow I tend to leave behind
the tears and the truths
and just forget- that I
can't get over you
Every now and then it just all
remains the same
We try to move ahead but get held back
in the game, somehow now I'm livin'
in the past
I'm still with you, please don't forget
'Cause this ain't over yet
I'll be here changin' the moods
I'll straighten out my head'n all the foolish things I do
And I'll be here changin' the moods - yeah
Only 'cause I need the time, so I can get back to you
I'll be changin' the moods
Every now and then I seen to do nothing but wrong
I blame it on my pride yet that as such, is almost gone
Every day there's choices to be made
And memories are lingering, the future seems to fade
Somehow now I'm livin' in the past
I'm still with you, please don't forget
'Cause this ain't over yet
