KIM WILDE - Child Come Away (HQ Audio)

ARTIST: Kim Wilde
ALBUM: Singles Collection 1981-93
WRITTEN BY: Ricky & Marty Wilde

Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why

I read the story about a week ago
They found her on the beach that night
They thought the light had gone out of her eyes
and no-one thinks she'll ever be right
She was so full of her life
Happy with the people she knew
But then no-one can tell

Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why

Guess all they found were some marks in the sand
A message saying 'She is mine'
Nobody touched her as she got in the car
Well nobody dares to anytime
She was so full of her life
The girl that everybody once knew
But now no-one can tell

Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why

And when they read a story out to the judge
I heard they had to turn away
It's all over town

I saw her face in the back of a car
As they were speeding out of town
She's got a mark on the side of her face
that no-one's ever seen around
And what she is or what she's become
I guess the town will never know

Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No I won't give you reasons so don't ask why

What is she singing? Just go and play? Or Child go and play? It sounds like Just go and play

@Tisselwood

lyrics say child...but i'm pretty sure it's just go and play...

[norrisonthespot]

Thanks for posting this. It is one of my favourite Kim songs-hauntingly beautiful and a little bit unsettling.

perfect description...

[threeptt]

hugely unerrated record for its time

[9JAJAJAHAHAHA6]

About 2 years ago, as soon as I had plenty of time to relax, I put on my Kim Wilde album for a change while I was drawing. Off course I heard the succesful singles like "Kids in America", "Cambodia", "Chequered Love" etc., but then THIS song played. I was shocked to find out that this song wasn't nearly as famous as the other songs. The best songs never make it to the charts, that's why people should take their time to listen to and appreciate the complete album made by an artist.

I think it's the best song of Kim Wilde. So deep, so mysterious... If only this song would have been a success... Imagine an album with that mysterious mood in it. The song failed to enter the charts, and after that, Kim seem confused : jazz ? (Love Blonde), funk ? (Dancing in the Dark), electro ? (House of Salome) ...

[Cyberschizoid]

I always wondered if this song was about an alien abduction...?

[ZevsNS1]

either she was attacked or she was a member of a cult...
