Fool's Garden - In The Name

In The Name

(Hinkel / Freudenthaler)

She's a good girl,
Daddy loves her,
She's obeying
Pretty soon
Daddy told her
Wondrous stories
Very softly
Salty moon

Is anybody out there?
Can anybody hear her cry?
Any saviour?
Does anybody know just why
God has left her
On this long, long way?
She's afraid to hear him say:
"COME"

She's a good ball,
Daddy's playing
Very charily
With her hands
Many pictures
In the diary
Of a small girl
And a man

Is anybody out there?
Can anybody hear her cry?
Any saviour?
Bloody bastard, why?
God has left her
On this long, long way,
She's a good girl
Hundred million miles away

It's in the name,
The name
Jamie's been abandoned
Now she's riding on a train
It's in the name,
The name - of love
Father don't you leave her
When you take her home again

She's a good girl,
Daddy loves her
And he knows that
He's the one
To redeem his
Little puppet,
Daddy's work is
Nearly done

There isn't any god in heaven
And no religion too
He's the only saviour
And he knows that he's the one to do it
While she's imploring:
"Don't you hear me?"

It's in the name,
The name
Jamie's been abandoned
Now she's riding on a train
The name - of love
Father don't you leave her
When you take her home again
