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.
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
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
