Every Day In the Afternoon

from The Selfish Giant by Bongo And the Point

about

Now the Giant can't wait for the children to come to his garden everyday.

lyrics

Everyday in the afternoon
He lays his work aside
Listening for school house bells
And when they start to chime

Children run to meet him
He’s waiting at the gate
And there within his garden
He stays until it’s late

Everyday in the afternoon
The children come to call
He loves his many flowers but
The Children most of all

Every day he’d watch the gate
Light a candle when it’s late
But where’s the boy who kissed him first
The one who loved him at his worst

Years go by he’s getting older
Summers hotter Winters colder
He’s still longing for his friend
He never saw that boy again

Everyday in the Afternoon
He watches as they play
And even after all these years
He loves it just that way
