Lantern Waste/Autumn Way

from From Time To Time by The Soundrops

lyrics

it was a warm September evening
between the plateaus and the hills
we were sitting to learn all other`s names
and the air in our lungs was so fresh

Lantern Waste began to fill
began to fill with you
Lantern Waste began to fill
began to fill with you, you, you

there might have been a misty forest
beside the relics of a bench
the beauty of it all not to be grasped with eyes
and the lanterns were on
and the green was so limpid unseen

Lantern Waste began to sing
began to back your voice
Lantern Waste began to sing
began to back your voice, your voice, your voice

I`m walking here some seven years ahead
the afternoon`s maintained by the vespering bells
I bless those common errands
a book to borrow
which brought me here
upon the autumn way

I recognise the oaks upon her street
the trunks exhaling children of my tears
I summon all my daydreams
the words unreleased
I might pronounce
belatedly
and digitally remastered

good old Autumn way
I never thought I`d tread this streaming tarmac again
standing at her door
I look in her smiling eyes
so enriched
with what remains
