Forest - Autumn Childhood Lyrics
Childhood came to me againThe dust and cobwebs left a painThat ploughed the furrows of the deadAnd burning woodsmoke filled my headAnd autumn gold bend out my eyesAnd leftme with no alibis***** as the stars I wasLonely as the sky and lost,The fading light is treating stillAnd always dead and always willAnd all my life is contained in thisThe key to each and every wishCried… cried! Yes I criedOh so tears the rolled down and down and down ‘til I diedDied… Died! Yes I died, oh so Lordy they buried meI went down and down ‘til I criedAutumn spread the wings to fold meAutumn spread the wings to hold meAnd take me backEveryone would be thereTheir joy would fill the air,Everyone would be thereI could stay out at twelveTurn around enjoying myselfI’d run off quick the smoke was sick, I was thereI laughed out night awayIn the colors of the smoke and flame.The crackling wood, the noise was good, I was thereAnd everybody was thereTheir laughter filled the air,Everybody was thereAnd everybody was thereTheir laughter filled the air,Everybody was thereAnd Autumn returned,Autumn returned Oh… oh…Childhood came to me againThe dust and cobwebs left a painThat ploughed the furrows of the deadAnd burning woodsmoke filled my headCried… cried! Yes I criedOh so tears the rolled down and down and down ‘til I diedDied… Died! Yes I died, oh so Lordy they buried meI went down and down ‘til I criedAutumn spread the wings to fold meAutumn spread the wings to hold me
