[Verse 1]
In the garden
Trees are growing slowly
Out into the falling snow
She's lying

[Chorus]
Her man should be there
But he would not come
He's waiting downstairs, his head on the ground
For the child to come home

[Verse 2]
Out in the pathway
I see her sitting
Birds are flying in the sky
She's lovely

[Chorus]
I showed her a chair
But she would not come, she curled up her hair
And brought out a sound
"Children never come home"

[Outro]
Do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do, do-do-do
