At the ticking of the sun
On the green bellied mountains
I'm staring high in the sky
In the breeze I can taste
The fragrance of his moment
And I take a deep breath
Then the breeze picks up his bags
And blows on over my shoulder
That's life, this life
We're running out of time
But the time is still behind us
And tomorrow cuts the dawn that's the law
And the spirit of the past
Still lingers in surroundings
I'm the owner of my mind and I know
The spirit of Autumn Past
Yesterday the sun shone on the party
And everybody shone at the sun
But now I'm alone and the sky turns grey
There's a ghost across the wind
We're running out of time
But the time is still behind us
And tomorrow cuts the dawn that's the law
And the spirit of the past
Still lingers in surroundings
I'm the owner of my mind and I know
The spirit of Autumn Past
You and me and all of us
From the dying stars to the dreams of children
We're all together now
We're running out of time
But the time is still behind us
And tomorrow cuts the dawn that's the law
And the spirit of the past
Still lingers in surroundings
I'm the owner of my mind and I know
The spirit of Autumn Past
We're running out of time
But the time is still behind us
And tomorrow cuts the dawn that's the law
And the spirit of the past
Will echo through your hallways
And the walls you leave behind
Will breath your life
The Spirit of autumn past
