Autumn |
| So here we are, alone — |
| Our children have grown up and moved away |
| Living their own lives, they say… |
| It all seems very strange to me |
| I don’t understand their ways: |
| Our children amaze me all the time |
| And I often wonder why they make me feel |
| So sad and suddenly old |
| Now we’re left with an empty home |
| From our nest all the birds have flown for foreign skies |
| We’re discarded, of no further use |
| Though we gave our kids all our youth and all our lives — |
| We really tried |
| Now there’s only my wife and me; |
| We used to have a family — now that’s gone |
| And only memories linger on… |
| It all seems very wrong to me |
| To our sorrows they were quite deaf |
| And as soon as they could they left us to our tears |
| We always tried to teach what was good — |
| Yes, we gave our kids all we could through all the years |
| So here we are at last; |
| The time has gone so fast and so have my dreams |
| I simply don’t know what it all means |
| This pointless passage through the night |
| This autumn-time, this walk upon the water… |
| I wonder how long |
| It will be till this song |
| Is sung by our own sons and daughters? |
