The postman's whistle blew at next door's gate,
The little girl ran out, she couldn't be late.
Her daddy wrote ' I miss you my little knee-high child',
I try and get home next week when the weather is mild.
It's your birthday soon and I'll be there.
she cried because she knew he did not care.

This old job has me going all damn day,
Driving these trucks so I can get my pay.
The long long journeys I must endure,
but I'll be home soon, of that you can be sure.


Chorus
Well, how many times had she heard those words?
So many times that it became absurd.
She was just three when he walked out that door,
saying... see you soon, and kissed Mum once more.
He's not coming back, these are all lies,.
and I am just tired watching when mummy cries.

Verse2
He missed her birthday's, they made her so blue,
All she ever wanted was her daddy's love so true.
Just to know that maybe he really does care,
but he's out there driving trucks somewhere,

He left them alone and said he had a new job,
That he would send money to help us get along,
Neighbour's all knew she wouldn't see him any more,
Cause a strange woman rang him .... the day before.


Chorus
Well, how many times had she heard those words?
So many times that it became absurd.
She was just three when he walked out that door,
saying... see you soon, and kissed Mum once more.
He's not coming back, these are all lies,.
and I am just tired watching when mummy cries.

Spoken
Please don't cry Mummy, cause I can help,
I'll put those dishes back up on to the shelf.
We will be fine, I'll grow up soon, you will see
Daddy's not coming home... it's just you and me.

Chorus
Well, how many times had she heard those words?
So many times that it became absurd.
She was just three when he walked out that door,
saying... see you soon, and kissed Mum once more.
He's not coming back, these are all lies,.
and I am just tired watching when mummy cries.

He has a new love...
