| Childhood came to me again
|
| The dust and cobwebs left a pain
|
| That ploughed the furrows of the dead
|
| And burning woodsmoke filled my head
|
| And autumn gold bend out my eyes
|
| And leftme with no alibis
|
| Naked as the stars I was
|
| Lonely as the sky and lost
|
| The fading light is treating still
|
| And always dead and always will
|
| And all my life is contained in this
|
| The key to each and every wish
|
| Cried… cried! |
| Yes I cried
|
| Oh so tears the rolled down and down and down ‘til I died
|
| Died… Died! |
| Yes I died, oh so Lordy they buried me
|
| I went down and down ‘til I cried
|
| Autumn spread the wings to fold me
|
| Autumn spread the wings to hold me
|
| And take me back
|
| Everyone would be there
|
| Their joy would fill the air
|
| Everyone would be there
|
| I could stay out at twelve
|
| Turn around enjoying myself
|
| I’d run off quick the smoke was sick, I was there
|
| I laughed out night away
|
| In the colors of the smoke and flame
|
| The crackling wood, the noise was good, I was there
|
| And everybody was there
|
| Their laughter filled the air
|
| Everybody was there
|
| And everybody was there
|
| Their laughter filled the air
|
| Everybody was there
|
| And Autumn returned
|
| Autumn returned Oh… oh…
|
| Childhood came to me again
|
| The dust and cobwebs left a pain
|
| That ploughed the furrows of the dead
|
| And burning woodsmoke filled my head
|
| Cried… cried! |
| Yes I cried
|
| Oh so tears the rolled down and down and down ‘til I died
|
| Died… Died! |
| Yes I died, oh so Lordy they buried me
|
| I went down and down ‘til I cried
|
| Autumn spread the wings to fold me
|
| Autumn spread the wings to hold me |
