lyrics

Now watch this autumn that arrives,
All looks like summer still;
Colours are quite unchanged, the air
On green and white serenely thrives.
Heavy the trees with growth and full the fields.
Flowers flourish every-where.
Flowers flourish every-where.

Proust who collected time within
(a child‘s) cake would understand
The ambiguity of this –
Summer still raging while
a thin column of smoke stirs from the land.
Proving (that) autumn gropes for us.
Proving (that) autumn gropes for us.

But I am carried back against
my will into a childhood
Where Autumn is bonfires, marbles and smoke;
Where Autumn is bonfires, marbles and smoke;

But every season is a kind –
Of rich nostalgia
Autumn and summer, winter, spring
(- As though) to unfasten from the mind
Our moods and give them out ward forms.
We want the certain, solid thing.
We want the certain, solid thing.

But I am carried back against my will into a childhood
Where Autumn is bonfires, marbles and smoke;
Where Autumn is bonfires, marbles and smoke;

But every season is a kind –
Of rich nostalgia.
Autumn and summer, winter, spring
(- As though) to unfasten from the mind
Our moods and give them out ward forms.
We want the certain, solid thing.
We want the certain, solid thing.

But I am carried back against my will into a childhood
Where Autumn is bonfires, marbles and smoke;
Where Autumn is bonfires, marbles and smoke;

I lean against my window fenced –
From evocations in the air.
When I said autumn, autumn broke.
When I said autumn, autumn broke.
