Forever Autumn 歌詞

 

Journalist: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

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

'Cause you're not here

'Cause you're not here

'Cause you're not here

Journalist: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

'Cause you're not here

'Cause you're not here

'Cause you're not here

Journalist: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 shoulder 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

Martians:Ulla

Journalist: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

'Cause you're not here

'Cause you're not here

'Cause you're not here

Martians:Ulla

Journalist:The steamer began to move slowly away

But on the landward horizon appeared the silhouette of a fighting machine Another came

And another

Striding over hills and plunging far out to sea and blocking the exit of the steamer

Between them lay the silent

Grey Ironclad Thunder Child Slowly it moved towards shore then

With a deafening roar and whoosh of spray

 

It swung about and drove at full speed towards the waiting Martians
