Autumn Leaves Fall lyrics - track 08

Remembrance

The pictures on the wall -- Tell the story of it all -- In black and in white
Mum and Dad with the kids -- A picnic in the park -- Fire works in the dark
Before war clouds -- Drew a solemn shroud -- As the lights all went out over Europe
As the lights all went out over Europe
The pictures on the wall -- Tell the story of it all -- In black and white
Young man proud and bold -- Uniform so smart -- Soldier from the start
To fight and to die -- Kids left to cry -- As the lights all went out over Europe
As the lights all went out over Europe
In black and white on a TV screen -- Distant past remote the screams
As the battles unfold -- As the story’s retold -- Can’t smell the rain
Can’t feel the pain -- As the lights all go out over Europe
As the lights all go out over Europe
In the light of the dawn -- We will remember -- As poppies bloom we will remember
Why the lights all went out over Europe
Why the lights all went out over Europe
Why the lights all went out over Europe
