Forest - Autumn Childhood lyrics

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 burned out my eyes And left me with no alibis Naked as the stars I was Lonely as the sky and lost, The fading light is retreating still It always did 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 they rolled down and down and down ‘til I died Died … Died! Yes I died, oh so low did they bury me I went down and down ‘til I cried Autumn spread her wings to fold me Autumn spread her 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 till twelve Run around, enjoy myself I'd run off quick the smoke was thick, I was there I laughed the 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 low did they bury me I went down and down ‘til I cried Autumn spread her wings to fold me Autumn spread her wings to hold me
