| Lyrics: | So here we are, alone -
our children have grown up and moved away,
living their own lives,
they say...
It all seems very strange to me.
I don't understand their ways:
our
children amaze me all the time
and I often wonder why they make me feel
so sad, and
suddenly old.
Now we're left with an empty home,
from our nest all the birds have
flown for foreign skies.
We're discarded, of no further use,
though we gave our kids all
our youth and all our live
- we really tried.
Now there's only my wife and
me;
we used to have a family - now that's gone
and only memories linger on...
it all
seems very wrong to me.
To our sorrow they were quite deaf
and as soon as they could
they left us to our tears.
We always tried to teach what was good -
yes, we gave our kids
all we could through all the years.
So here we are at last;
the time has gone so
fast and so have my dreams.
I simply don't know what it all means,
this pointless passage
through the night,
this autumn-time, this walk upon the water...
I wonder how long
it will be till this song
is sung by our own sons and daughters |
