Autumn Childhood - Forest

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
