Caligula's Horse - Autumn Lyrics

You were leading us into autumn
You, the dream of the hopeful,
You were here to stay,
And you'll soon see that yours was the strong heart
From youth to open arms
Embrace all the change that was coming

And all we thought we knew for all of yesterday,
We were only children
The way forward, through
All we thought we knew

You were dreamed by love into the world
Truth
For the last time I shed my skin and breathe in the colour

And all we thought we knew for all of yesterday,
We were only human
The way forward, through
All we thought we knew

You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
Before the change is through
Change is coming
When all I am is you

Leading time to river's toil as the hollow takes shape
Leading myth to mother soil,
Being made and unmade

Change has always been this way
Change has always been this way

As light is ever sent over rubble to reign,
The all will always end where the nothingness stays

Change was always on its way
Change has always been this way

Change, the mother
Nothing falls into stillness;
Time is the motion
Change, the mother
In the sum of our silence,
Time waits for no one

So who am I to stay the colours as they change?
To call for silence in my pride,
And bring stillness to sunrise?

You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
Before the change is through
Change is coming
When all I am is you

You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
And I will wait ahead
Change is coming
To stand and mark the way
