Are All the Children In

Are All The Children In - Johnny Cash (約翰尼·卡什)

When I'm alone

I often think of an old house on the hill

Of a big yard hedged in roses

Where we ran and played at will

And when the night time

Brought us home hushing our merry din

Mother would look around

And ask are all the children in

Well it's been many a year now

And the old house on the hill

No longer has my mother's care

And the yard is still so still

But if I listen I can hear it all no matter

How long it's been

I seem to hear my mother

Ask are all the children in

And I wonder

When the curtain falls on that last earthly day

When we say goodbye to all of

This to our pain and work and play

When we step across the river

Where mother so long has been

Will we hear ask

Her a final time are all the children in (I come)
