They don't come around anymore
They used to call my name and wait outside my door
Happy campers and a bunch of hangers-on
Those dreadful days are gone, that's right
They stopped following me around
Creepy greasy crackpots stealing through the grounds
When I told them there was nothing to be found
I scolded them and frowned, that's why
They don't come around anymore
All I needed was for them to leave me be
Not abandon me completely
They don't bother me anymore
Do you know it must have been years ago
When that penny dropped and suddenly they stopped
No, I don't hang about anymore
All my heydays are much quieter than before
Now I follow them around
And they tell me there is nothing to be found
Happy phantoms drifting by the windowpane
I can hear them call my name
In the warm September rain
Silver king
Take your cane
Turn the key
Autumn springs / Can you hear
Brings the rain / Through the rain
Shakes the trees / And the trees
Will you sing / I am here
Once again / Call my name
Try at least / Try at least
