The Autumn Years Lyrics


It's the end of the road

And someone had sold all of my gold

I'm so tired of walking in the sun

There'll be no race to run

But maybe one game to win...

The long empty road and I walk alone

Because the winter is near

I'm searching for a place I can hide

Under favor of night

Would you fail me in need?

Because the days come and go

When it's dark there's still a candle in my room

When it's cold I feel something keeps me warm

Leave the cold outside, be with me when I die

This time I'm reaching outer lines

I'll be where I can reach the sky

In a land where the blind have sight

And I don't need to fight, I want to know

If there will be an endless summer?

How long will the moon shine on and cover the sun?

How far will the night extend, into my life?

Don't be afraid if there's no tomorrow

When it's dark there's still a candle in my room

When it's cold I feel something keeps me warm

Look at me I'm still a prisoner in chains

Now my time is running through my open hands

Until now I wasn't able to break free

Leave the cold outside, be with me when I die

This time I'm reaching outer lines

It's the end of the road

And someone had sold all of my gold
