Here in the garden Let's play a game I'll show you how it's done Here in the garden Stand very still This'll be so much fun And then she smiled, that's what I'm after A smile in her eyes, the sound of her laughter Happy to listen Happy to play Happily watching her drift away Happily waiting All on my own Under the endless sky Counting the seconds, standing alone As thousands of years go by Happily wondering, night after night Is this how it works? Am I doing it right? Happy to listen Happy to stay Happily watching her drift away You keep on turning pages, for people who don't care People who don't care about you And still it takes you ages To see that no one's there See that no one's there See that no one's there Everyone's gone on without you Finally something Finally news About how the story ends She doesn't exist now Survived by her son And all of her brand new friends Isn't that lovely? Isn't that cool? And isn't that cruel? And aren't I a fool to have Happily listened Happy to stay Happily watching her drift Drift Drift away
