    Lyrics
    For three days I fought my way along roads packed with refugees, the homeless, burdened with boxes and bundles containing their valuables. All that was of value to me was in London. By the time I reached their little red brick house, Carrie and her father were gone...
    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
    Fire suddenly leapt from house to house, the population panicked and ran and I was swept along with them, aimless and lost without Carrie. Finally I headed eastward for the ocean, and my only hope of survival: A boat out of England...
    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
    As I hastened through Covent Garden, Blackfriars and Billingsgate, more and more people joined the painful exodus. Sad, weary women, their children stumbling and streaked with tears, their men bitter and angry, the rich rubbing shoulder with beggars and outcasts. Dogs snarled and whined, the horses' bits were covered with foam…... and here and there were wounded soldiers, as helpless as the rest. We saw tripods wading up the Thames, cutting through bridges as though they were paper - Waterloo Bridge, Westminster Bridge…... One appeared above Big Ben
    Ulla!
    Never before in the history of the world had such a mass of human beings moved and suffered together. This was no disciplined march, it was a stampede, without order and without a goal, six million people, unarmed and unprovisioned, driving headlong. It was the beginning of the rout of civilization, of the massacre of mankind...
    A vast crowd buffeted me toward the already packed steamer. I looked up enviously at those safely on board - straight into the eyes of my beloved Carrie! At sight of me she began to fight her way along the packed deck to the gangplank. At that very moment it was raised, and I caught a last glimpse of her despairing face as the crowd swept me away from her...
    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

      I am so sorry for your loss, especially as he was so young. I am a 51 year old UK male and I was lucky enough to experience this album when it came out in the laye 70's as a kid. I know it so well, most of the words too. My dad had a high end hifi and headphone setup back then, so I had an amazing experience which stays with me today.

      Jeff Wayne and Justin Hayward ex Moody Blues both brilliant at atmosphere! "Nights in White Satin, Never Reaching the End, Music I Have Written, Never Meaning to Send". Scared to Declare Love. Forever Autumn, Love Declared BUT Never Lost. IF you carry the LOVE Had & Refuse to Lose and the Love You Never Declared But Keep, You have Lost BUT Not Lost. The MEMORY IS CHERISHED FOREVER.

      Perhaps try transpose the feeling of this song of; the (temporary) loss we feel here on earth, to; the forgotten belonging/Love/ Homeliness of our previous Home in heaven. Even if you are Atheist,
      Look-up NDE experiences & learn what they see beyond the "veil' learn again where we Came from/ & are going back to!, you will see through a new lens!.

We got her a week after my husband and I married in October of '92 and almost exactly 2 years later she went missing and was found dead a week later. My heart was shattered. She loved playing in the leaves and being out doors,, exploring and all. It's been several years and I still miss my little Surely Bo Birley.

    I hadn't heard this song since 1980 when my Dad used to play it over and over after my Mom committed suicide. He used to scare me and my sister with the 'machines from Mars' and only seeing the cover artwork now brings back shivers to my spine. It's funny that after all these years, I can still sing along the lyrics, though only now I understand the words 'cause you're not here'. At that time, aged 5, when hearing this song I could only feel an intense loneliness, which has taken me decades to get rid off. My Dad is 77 now, he had a stroke last year but is still there for me, just like he always was throughout all the tough times. I would like to listen this song together with him and cry out all those tears I could not cry when I was too young to understand what had happened.

    Got two copies of this on vinyl. Would put in on and play the whole album. So I'm sure one of the copies is quite worn.

    I loved this song in the 1970's at 16,
    I love it even more at 61

    This will never get old as Justin Hayward could nail this classic.....

    My mother discovered Justin Hayward (and this song and this album ... but mostly Justin Hayward!) when she was 14 in 1978.

    The characters brought together for this album was a stroke of genius. The narration by Richard Burton, sung by Justin Hayward, Phil Lynot etc, an absolutely incredible album that is a fresh today as the day it was released.

    I can't believe I've haven't commented on this before I managed to get this on tape in about 1978. From the album. And loved it ever since.

    I'm playing Mass Effect 3, and it sometimes makes me think of War of the Worlds.

    This song is not only brilliant and a master piece of music, it's a story that Richard Burton brings to life with his narrative voice brings to life and makes the story come alive in my mind not to mention the musical master piece.
    I've still got the original vinyl record and it still astounds me ❤👌🏻👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘✌️
