lyrics

ROGER:
The leaves fall from the trees
Out of strength from holding on
And now their limbs are standing bare
Whispering echoes of a past long gone

You hear what you forgot
The hopeful words you passed along
And everything seems far away
Fading out like summer’s song

And all those summer dreams you had
Fade to autumn dreams deferred
Lying in wait upon the ground
Turning to dust
And all the grandest schemes you made
Crumble before a single word
Losing resolve like dying sounds
And spreading like rust

You give it all you got
And never get back in return
You try your best to do it all
But in the end your prospects burn

Then lost and feeling low
You turn the embers on yourself
The punishment: that you alone
Could make your life a living hell

And all those summer dreams you had
Fade to autumn dreams deferred
Lying in wait upon the ground
Turning to dust
And all the grandest schemes you made
Crumble before a single word
Losing resolve like dying sounds
And spreading like rust

Bitter roots spread bitter fruit
And I can’t stand the taste
But now it’s all I have

(Instrumental)

And all those summer dreams I had
Faded to autumn dreams deferred
Lying in wait upon the ground
Turning to dust
And all the grandest schemes I made
Crumbled before a single word
Losing resolve like dying sounds
And spreading like rust

Bring me back those golden summer hues
Take me back there
Oh, let me go back…
