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)
