New Model Army - Autumn lyrics

Across the land the air is still The leaves are falling golden one by one Like the paper money falls Or the soldiers stealing homeward There is only beginning And there is beginning of the end All the peoples are moving Like the waters of a great flood And everything is beautiful Because everything is dying So we went down to the beach And built a fire to remember We took the last bottle of wine And drank a toast to mortality And we scrawled across the cold wet sand With our bare feet We Told You So' And watched the waves steal it away I caught you smile and I heard you say Everything is beautiful Because everything is dying So who wants to live forever When these moments will only come the once? Staring into the embers of the fire... And everything is beautiful Only because everything is dying
