. It is late autumn The oak leaves have gone From orange to brown There is a dry rasp To their rustling as an Evening wind passes by I have come for no particular Reason Just standing alone Under the gaze of distant stars Not waiting for anyone to appear I can imagine the sound of a train Beyond the trees The wail of its horn As it slowly fades See in the night Whoever I want approaching On the gravel road Yet it is this quiet night I only want without faith or hope That it’s you I’ll see coming toward me Through the lamp lit air Oh my love How much has changed Since we were here . |
