Στίχοι
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 Autumns 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
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
As I hastened through Covent Garden, Blackfriars and Billingsgate
More and more people joined the painful exodus
Sad, weary woman, 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
Ulla!
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 un-provisioned, driving headlong
It was the beginning of the rout of civilisation, of the massacre of mankind
A vast crown buffeted me toward the already packed steamer
I looked up enviously at those safely onboard 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 Autumns 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
