Inside the garden

 The curtains are pulled tight

but you can look over the walls

Every morning and night

You just might

Leave the garden


The birds and bees are happy

On the flowers and the trees

All the starlings startle and freeze

But the trees know no disease

Inside the garden


Little mice tiptoe

Badgers go to and fro

Inside the garden


My love stands at the gate

And I say goodbye to hate

Inside the garden


You can get all you need

Be far from sin and greed

in the garden


Oh the sun always shines

Upon your spindly lines

In the garden


The anteaters thump

the grasshoppers jump

Inside the garden


Memory fades away

Like an elephant's grave

Inside the garden


You'll have no more fear or doubt

Even if it rains or there's a drought

Inside the garden
