Forever Autumn Lyrics
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 autumn's 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.
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.
J.H. is so good at creating moods that invoke feelings of time. For instance this definately feels like Autumn. Its wistfull and sad. Part of why Days of Future Past was so good is that he was able to set the moods of certain times of the day.
This song was recorded for Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds" soundtrack. As Justin tells it, he was sitting around one day, and Jeff Wayne, an American record producer living in London, called him. When Justin answered the phone, Jeff asked, "Are you the one who wrote Nights in White Satin?", to which Justin replied, "Yes I did!". As the story goes on, Justin went to Jeff's studio and recorded this song.
This song is absoluteley fantastic. Its catched how you feel when you lose contact with someone special. And Justin Hayward's voice suits this song perfectly.
An incredible song...
My mother is making me play this at her funeral.
