Lyrics
| Official Lyrics |
| (Instrumental)(Verse 1)
(Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen!) Autumn is here cry the leaves with their dying, Shed mythical tears for forever skies Wavestation calls out to all who will listen, A truth that we cannot deny Smoldering sunburst cast shadows of life, Meaning lost in my mind Feel for a soul in the wink of an eye, And it's gone, gone, gone Ride this wave forever! (Verse 2) Autumn is here call the seas with their swaying 'Till transient waves bend attentive minds Harmony sounds out to all who will listen, A truth that is one of a kind Sophistry endless with unwilling jest Taking toll in the art Lost in the touch of a dream gone by, Is the end Ride this wave forever! (Bridge) I have seen winds of change, They've weathered all the pain 'Cause you know you've only got yourself to blame (Verse 3) Autumn is gone barks the frost with its winter As blanketing snowfalls masquerade fields Illusion flickers with twilight's glowing, And night must to morning yield Those who are lucky cling tighter to love, Smiling and lost in sleep Looking at the doubt lying deep in your head It is dead, dead, dead Ride this wave forever! |
