From the recording "The Selfish Giant"
And so the Giant begins to see the consequences of his actions.
Lyrics
Spring didn’t come
Spring did not come
Not to the garden
Spring did not come
Birds didn’t sing
And the trees did not bloom
Without the children there is nothing but gloom
Spring didn’t come
Spring did not come
Not in the garden
Spring did not come
Birds wouldn’t sing sing
And the trees did not bloom
Without the children there is nothing but gloom
Everywhere else the country is green
Outside the walls there are flowers to be seen
Up on the hills hear the buzzing of bees
Little lambs play under blossoming trees
Spring didn’t come
Spring did not come
Not to the garden
Spring did not come
Birds didn’t sing
And the trees could not bloom
Without the children there is nothing but gloom
