Are All the Children In?

Are All the Children In? - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

Written by：Craig Starrett

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
