  • Verse 1
    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. 

    Verse 2

    Forever 
    Autumn 

    Journalist 
    Verse 3

    The summer 
    sun 
    is 
    fading 
    as 

    the 
    year 
    grows 
    old, 

    And 
    darker 
    days 
    are 
    draw
    ing 
    near, 


    The winter 
    winds 
    will 
    be 
    much 
    colder, 

    Now 
    you're 
    not 
    here. 

    Verse 4

    watch 
    the 
    birds 
    fly 
    south 
    across 

    the 
    autum
    n sky 

    And 
    one 
    by 
    one 
    they 
    dis
    ap
    pear, 


    wish 
    that 
    was 

    flying 
    with 
    them 

    Now 
    you're 
    not 
    here. 

    Like 
    the sun 
    through 
    the trees 

    you 
    came 
    to 
    love 
    me, 

    Like 
    leaf 
    on 
    breeze 
    you 
    blew 
    away... 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    Through 
    autumn's 
    golden 
    gown 
    we 

    used 
    to 
    kick 
    our 
    way, 

    You 
    always 
    loved 
    this 
    time 
    of 

    year 

    Those 
    fallen 
    leaves 
    lie 

    undis
    turbed 
    now 

    'Cause 
    you're 
    not 
    here 

    'Cause 
    you're 
    not 
    here 

    'Cause 
    you're 
    not 
    here 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 6
    Fire 
    suddenly 
    leapt 
    from 
    house 
    to house. 

    The 
    population 
    pan
    icked 
    and 
    ran, 
    and I 
    was swept 
    along 
    with 
    them, 
    aimless 
    and 
    lost 
    without 
    Carrie. 
    Fi
    nally, 

    headed 
    eastward 
    for the 
    ocean 
    and 
    my 
    only 
    hope 
    of 
    survival: a boat 
    out 
    of 
    England. 

    Verse 7
    Journalist 

    Like 
    the sun 
    through 
    the 
    trees 
    you 

    came 
    to love 
    me, 

    Like 
    leaf 
    on 
    the 
    breeze 
    you 
    blew 

    Interlude 3
    away... 



    Verse 8
    gentle 
    rain 
    falls 
    softly 

    on 
    my 
    weary 
    eyes 

    As 
    if 
    to 
    hide 
    a lonely 
    tear 

    My 
    life 
    will 
    be 
    forever 
    au
    tumn, 

    'Cause 
    you're 
    not 
    here 

    'Cause 
    you're 
    not 
    here 

    'Cause 
    you're 
    not 
    here 

    Interlude 4

    Verse 9
    As I 
    hastened 
    through 
    Covent 
    Garden, 

    Blackfriars 
    and Billingsgate, 

    More 
    and 
    more 
    people 
    joined 

    the 
    pain
    ful 
    exodus. 

    Sad, 
    weary 
    women, 

    their 
    chil
    dren 
    stumbling 
    in 
    the street 
    with 
    tears, 

    Their 
    men 
    bitter 
    and 
    angry, 

    the rich 
    rubbing 
    shoulders 
    with 
    beg
    gars 
    and 
    outcasts. 

    Dogs 
    snarled 
    an
    d whined, 
    Verse 10

    the 
    horse's 
    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. 

    Water
    loo 
    bridge, 
    Westminster 
    bridge, 

    one 
    appeared 
    above 
    Big 
    Ben. 

    Interlude 5
    Ulla! 



    Verse 11
    Never 
    before 
    in 
    the history 
    of the 
    world, 

    Had such 
    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 
    Verse 12
    of 
    the rout 
    of civil
    ization, 

    of 
    the massacre 
    of 
    mankind. 

    A vast 
    crowd 
    buffeted 
    me 
    towards 

    the already 
    packed 
    steam
    er. 

    I looked 
    up 
    en
    viously 
    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. 

    Journalist 
    Like 
    the sun 
    through 
    the 
    Verse 13

    trees 

    you 
    came 
    to 
    love 
    me, 

    Like 
    leaf 
    on 
    breeze 
    you 
    blew 
    away... 

    Interlude 6


    Verse 14

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
