The Autumn Years

It's the end of the road
And someone had 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 on and cover the sun?
How far will the night extend into my life?
Don't be afraid in 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 the 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 had sold all of my gold
