East in Autumn Sun

There's a mystery today
In the heart of everyone
Like a child lost at play
Like the East in autumn sun
It unveils my eyes
To this world of change that I despise
Where colors fade away
And the leaves fall helpless at our feet

I am walking -
Mother speaks to me
She is singing

There is freedom in your eyes
No two are ever one
When the faded summer cries
Leave the East in autumn sun
To soon you'll know
Reality, the coming snow
The shadows of today
And our lives sleep endless in a dream

I am walking -
Mamma says to me
Be brave my son -

Don't lie and wait
As time draws out your fate
you'll wake up years too late
To be a part of something
Like someone you have known
Who's suddenly alone
The child has left
The heart has left the home

There is freedom in your eyes
No two were ever one
When the faded summer cries
Leave the East in autumn sun
Cause soon you'll know
Your love will come, your time will go
Like shadows of the day
Where the child runs helpless

I am running -
Mamma screams to me
