Come Back Early Or Never Come Lyrics & Chords By Jackie Leven

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
