Lyrics

(adapted from the poem by Louis MacNeice)

My father made the walls resound
Wore his collar the wrong way round
When I was five the black dreams came
Nothing after was quite the same
When I woke they did not care
Nobody, nobody was there
In my childhood trees were green
And there was plenty to be seen

Come back early or never come
Come back early or never come

When my silent terror cried
Nobody, nobody replied
I woke up, the chilly sun saw me walk away alone
My mother wore a yellow dress, gentle, gently, gentleness
The dark was talking to the dead
The lamp was dark beside my bed

Come back early or never come
Come back early or never come
Come back early or never come
Come back early or never come
