Justin Hayward – Forever Autumn lyrics
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
And darker days are drawing near,
The winter winds will be much colder,
Now you're not here.
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them,
Now you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here

    For me it has always belonged in 'War of the Worlds' not just for the melancholy feel, which fits at this point in the album but also as a metaphor: It was the autumn of mankind having enjoyed his ascendancy in spring and ruling the world in summer. Kicking his (mankinds) way through the leaves of world, enjoying it all as if it was all meant for him. The birds flying south are sort of metaphysical as the boon by which mankind ruled, but now his betters are coming so the boons are leaving, one by one they disappear - and then they are gone. Winters coming; this wont be the world that 'came to love you' for much longer (now is the winter of your discontent).
