You might mean LEVEES. A levee is a natural or artificial embankment or dike, usually earthen, which parallels the course of a river. The word levee seems to have come into English through its use in colonial Louisiana.

There is no such English word as 'leeves' so people are trying to guess what word you really mean. It would help us if you 'add details' and put it in a sentence for us so that we can see what the context is, and so the meaning , and then come up with the correct word and spelling. I'll put this on my 'watch list'
You could mean 'leaves' which means going away from something or someone who remains, or,
'leaves' which are the green things on the ends of branches of trees and plants.
'levees' is not such a common word and refers to a thing built to hold water back, such as in New Orleans
