Blurb:
The War of the Worlds stars Richard Burton as the narrator-protagonist, Justin Hayward (of The Moody Blues), Phil Lynott, Julie Covington and David Essex.
"Forever Autumn", "The Eve of the War", "Thunder Child", and "The Spirit of Man" are the most recognised individual songs on the album. "Forever Autumn" was a UK Top 5 single, sung by Justin Hayward. The album itself spent 290 weeks in the UK album charts. It was in the top 10 in 22 countries and reached #1 in 11 countries.
Most of the lyrics on the album were written by former Elton John lyricist Gary Osborne. The album was recorded on 48 tracks.
Unfortunately Hayward's video of Forever Autumn is hard to get hold of, but there are plenty of YouTube takes on the music one of which is presented below.

Scroll and Sing:
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And 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
And one by one 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 the breeze you blew away
Through Autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
Cause you're not here (x3)
----SHORT INSTRUMENTAL----
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on the 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 (x3)
----SHORT INSTRUMENTAL----
Cause you're not here (x3)
----SHORT INSTRUMENTAL----
Cause you're not here, (fade out)

Great Song. I've always loved the Moody Blues and Justin Hayward carries the tradition onward.
Thanks
