Come Back Early Or Never Come Songtext / Lyric

In my childhood the trees were green

And there was plenty to be seen



My father made the walls resound

He wore his collar the wrong way round



My mother wore a yellow dress

Gently, gently, gentleness






When I was five the black dreams came

Nothing after was quite the same



The dark was talking to the dad

The lamp was dark beside my bed



When I awoke they did not care

Nobody, nobody, was there



When my silent terror cried

Nobody, nobody, replied



I go up; the chilly sun

Saw me walk away alone
