Come Back Early or Never Come Lyrics

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
