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
The 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
