Lyrics Forever Autumn

For three days
I fought my way along roads packed with refugees
The homeless, burdened with boxes and bundles containing their valuables
All that was of value to me was in London
But by the time I reached their little red brick house
Carrie and her father were gone
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you're not here
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'Cos you're not here
'Cos you're not here
'Cos you're not here
Fire suddenly leapt from house to house
The population panicked and ran
And I was swept along with them aimless and lost without Carrie
Finally, I headed eastward for the ocean and my only hope of survival
A boat out of England
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn
'Cos you're not here
'Cos you're not here
'Cos you're not here
As I hastened through
Covent Garden, Blackfriars and Billingsgate
More and more people joined the painful exodus
Sad, weary women
Their children, stumbling and streaked with tears
Their men, bitter and angry
The rich, rubbing shoulders with beggars and outcasts
Dogs snarled and whined
The horses' bits were covered with foam
And here and there were wounded soldiers
As helpless as the rest
We saw tripods wading up the Thames cutting through bridges as though they were paper
Waterloo Bridge
Westminster Bridge
One appeared above Big Ben
Never before in the history of the world had such a mass of human beings moved and suffered together
This was no disciplined march
It was a stampede without order and without a goal
Six million people unarmed and unprovisioned driving headlong
It was the beginning of the rout of civilization of the massacre of mankind
A vast crowd buffeted me toward the already packed steamer
I looked up enviously at those safely on board straight into the eyes of my beloved Carrie
At sight of me she began to fight her way along the packed deck to the gangplank
At that very moment it was raised
And I caught a last glimpse of her despairing face as the crowd swept me away from her
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'Cos you're not here
'Cos you're not here
'Cos you're not here
