The Eve Of The War & Forever Autumn Medley (feat. Richard Burton)

Narrator: For 3 days I fought my way along roads packed with refugees,
 the homeless burdened with boxes &
 bundles containing there valuables.
 All that was of value to me was in London but by the time I
 reached there little red brick house Carrie & her father were gone.
 Journalist, The summer sun is fading as
 the year grows old
 & 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
 & 1 by 1 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 use 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
 Narrator. Fire suddenly lept from house to house.
 The population panicked & ran,
 & I was swept along with them, aimless & lost without Carrie.
 Finally I headed eastward for the ocean & my
 only hope for survival, a boat out of England
 Journalist
 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
 Narrator
 As I hastened through Covent garden, Blackfriars & Billingsgate
 more & more people joined the painful exodus
 Sad, weary woman, their children stumbling in the street with tears
 Their men bitter & angry,
 the rich rubbing shoulders with beggars & outcasts
 Dogs snarled & whined the horse's bits were covered with foam
 & here & 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,
 1 appeared above Big Ben,
 Ulla!
 Never before in the history of the world,
 had such a mass of human beings moved & suffered together
 This was no disciplined march,
 it was a stampede
 Without order & without a goal
 6 million people, unarmed & unprovisioned driving headlong
 It was the beginning of the rout of
 civilization of the massacre of mankind
 A vast crowd buffeted me towards 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
 & I caught a last glimpse of her
 despairing face as the crowd swept me away from her
 Journalist
 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 use 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
