Oh my stars, could it be?
What did mother mean?
Such a long time you seem
Left behind and waiting for an answer
Like a child alone who sits and waits for a mother
With a candle in the night
Are the others returning for me?
Everybody knows the story told
'Bout a man who came here long ago
Everybody knows in our town
Not with words but a melody bold
Led the kids away from home
Can't forget the piper's song
Yeah, everybody knows
But do they see
The only one left behind was me?
Limpy glen they called you then
Left to wander through these hills
Wondering if they'd play that still
La la la la, la la la
Life was dull in our town
All my playmates not around
Oh what sights do they see
That the piper promised me?
Like a child alone who sits and waits for a mother
With a candle in the night
Like a child alone who sits and waits for a mother
With a candle in the night
Are the others returning for me?
