The Autumn Years Songtext

von Poverty's No Crime

It's the end of the road
And someone has sold all of my gold
I'm so tired of walking in the sun
There'll be no race to run
But maybe one game to win...

The long empty road and I walk alone
Because the winter is near
I'm searching for a place I can hide
Under favour of night
Would you fail me in need?
Because the days come and go

When it's dark there's still a candle in my room
When it's cold I feel something keeps me warm
Leave the cold outside be with me when I die
This time I'm reaching outer lines

I'll be where I can reach the sky
In a land where the blind have sight
And I don't need to fight, I want to know
If there will be an endless summer?

How long will the moon shine and cover the sun?
How far will the night extend, into my life?
Don't be afraid if there's no tomorrow!

When it's dark there's still a candle in my room
When it's cold I feel something keeps me warm
Look at me I'm still a prisoner in chains
Now my time is running through my open hands
Until now I wasn't able to break free
Leave the cold outside be with me when I die
This time I'm reaching outer lines

It's the end of the road
And someone has sold all of my gold...
