Autumn

You were leading us into autumn

You, the dream of the hopeful

You were here to stay

And you'll soon see that yours was the strong heart

From youth to open arms

Embrace all the change that was coming

And all we thought we knew for all of yesterday

We were only children

The way forward, through

All we thought we knew

You were dreamed by love into the world

Truth

For the last time I shed my skin and breathe in the colour

And all we thought we knew for all of yesterday

We were only human

The way forward, through

All we thought we knew

You

You were leading us into autumn

Ever forward

You

You were leading us into autumn

Ever forward

Before the change is through

Change is coming

When all I am is you

Leading time to river's toil as the hollow takes shape

Leading myth to mother soil

Being made and unmade

Change has always been this way

Change has always been this way

As light is ever sent over rubble to reign

The all will always end where the nothingness stays

Change was always on its way

Change has always been this way

Change, the mother

Nothing falls into stillness

Time is the motion

Change, the mother

In the sum of our silence

Time waits for no one

So who am I to stay the colours as they change?

To call for silence in my pride

And bring stillness to sunrise?

You

You were leading us into autumn

Ever forward

You

You were leading us into autumn

Ever forward

Before the change is through

Change is coming

When all I am is you

You were leading us into autumn

Ever forward

You

You were leading us into autumn

Ever forward

And I will wait ahead

Change is coming

To stand and mark the way
