From the recording "The Selfish Giant"
The Giant is suffering the consequences of his actions, although, he doesn't know that yet.
Lyrics
Giant:
I hope there will be a change in the weather
I hope it will be a change for the better
I can’t understand why Spring is so late
There’s frost on the trees and ice on the gate
A slow moving Spring is one thing I hate
I can’t understand why Spring is so late
Spring didn’t come to the garden this year
Spring didn’t come to the garden, oh no
Spring didn’t come to the garden this year
Spring didn’t come to the garden, oh no
I hope there will be a change in the weather
‘Cause Spring didn’t come this year
