《Forever Autumn》歌词

[00:00:00] Forever Autumn - Jeff Wayne

[00:00:09] For three days

[00:00:10] I fought my way along roads packed

[00:00:12] With refugees the homeless burdened

[00:00:15] With boxes and bundles containing their

[00:00:17] Valuables All that was of value to me

[00:00:20] Was in London but by the time

[00:00:22] I reached their little red brick house

[00:00:24] Carrie and her father were gone

[00:00:37] The summer sun is fading as the year grows old

[00:00:45] And darker days are drawing near

[00:00:53] The winter winds will be much colder

[00:01:00] Now you're not here

[00:01:09] I watch the birds fly south across the Autumn sky

[00:01:17] And one by one they disappear

[00:01:25] I wish that I was flying with them

[00:01:31] Now you're not here

[00:01:37] Like the sun through the trees you came to love me

[00:01:45] Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

[00:02:07] Through Autumns golden gown we used to kick our way

[00:02:15] You always loved this time of year

[00:02:23] Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now

[00:02:28] Cause you're not here

[00:02:32] Cause you're not here

[00:02:36] Cause you're not here

[00:02:56] Fire suddenly leapt

[00:02:58] From house to house the population

[00:03:00] Panicked and ran and I was swept along with them

[00:03:03] Aimless and lost without Carrie

[00:03:06] Finally I headed Eastward for the ocean

[00:03:09] And my only hope of survival a boat out of London

[00:03:15] Like the sun through the trees you came to love me

[00:03:22] Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

[00:03:44] A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes

[00:03:52] As if to hide a lonely tear

[00:04:00] My life will be forever Autumn

[00:04:06] Cause you're not here

[00:04:10] Cause you're not here

[00:04:13] Cause you're not here

[00:04:24] As I hastened through Covent Garden

[00:04:26] Blackfriars and Billingsgate

[00:04:28] More and more people joined the painful exodus

[00:04:31] Sad weary woman

[00:04:33] Their children stumbling and streaked with tears

[00:04:36] Their men bitter and angry

[00:04:38] The rich rubbing shoulder with beggars and outcasts

[00:04:42] Dogs snarled and whined

[00:04:44] The horses bits were covered with foam

[00:04:47] And here and there were wounded soldiers

[00:04:49] As helpless as the rest

[00:05:06] We saw tripods wading up the Thames

[00:05:09] Cutting through bridges as though

[00:05:10] They were paper Waterloo Bridge Westminster Bridge

[00:05:14] One appeared above Big Ben

[00:05:18] Ulla

[00:05:38] Never before in the history

[00:05:40] Of the world had such a mass of

[00:05:41] Human beings moved and suffered together

[00:05:45] This was no disciplined march it was a stampede

[00:05:48] Without order and without a goal

[00:05:51] Six million people unarmed and unprovisioned

[00:05:54] Driving headlong

[00:05:55] It was the beginning of the rout of civilisation

[00:06:00] Of the massacre of mankind

[00:06:25] A vast crown buffeted me toward the already

[00:06:28] Packed steamer

[00:06:29] I looked up enviously at those safely onboard straight

[00:06:33] Into the eyes of my beloved Carrie

[00:06:36] At sight of me she began to fight her way

[00:06:38] Along the packed deck to the gangplank

[00:06:40] At that very moment it was raised

[00:06:43] And I caught a last glimpse of her despairing face

[00:06:47] As the crowd swept me away from her

[00:06:51] Like the sun through the trees you came to love me

[00:06:58] Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

[00:07:20] Through Autumns golden gown we used to kick our way

[00:07:28] You always loved this time of year

[00:07:35] Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now

[00:07:41] Cause you're not here

[00:07:45] Cause you're not here

[00:07:48] Cause you're not here
