"Once Upon a Time" by the Smashing Pumpkins is, in my mind and heart, the perfect song to accompany all of what Autumn brings (at least for me). Here are the lyrics, but I cannot/will not include a video because:
- The link would expire after a period and make the page unsightly and outdated;
- The school's computers block Youtube.
Here are the lyrics. I implore you to search the song in order to understand the emotions behind them..
Mother I'm tired
Come surrender my son
Time has ravaged on my soul
No plans to leave but still I go
Fallin' with the leaves
Fallin' out of sleep
To the last goodbyes
Who cares why?
Mother I've tried
Wasting my life
I haven't given up, I lie
To make you so proud in my eyes
Fallin' out of sleep
Crawlin' over me
To the last goodbyes
Who cares why?
Tuesdays come and gone
Restless i still drive
Try to leave it all behind
Fallin', fallin' out of sleep
Fallin', fallin' with the leaves
I go crawlin', crawlin' over me
Once upon a time in my life...
I went falling...
Mother I hope you know
That I miss you so
Time has ravaged on my soul
To wipe a mothers tears grown cold
