Now the fact is the father and the sun and the sky
Are all limits by which one must abide
And I have seen gardens
Yes I have seen many
There was Eden and Babylon
And even Gethsemane
But of all of these gardens to which we give
Toast
There is only one truly
For which I like to boat
For I dug on its borders
And I cried buckets and spades
And I gave to the cute hedgehogs
Their time in the glades
But I have no answers
To bring water from skies
When the dry weather comes
And the sweet plant dies
Give it a sprinkle
Wash its sweet face
For not even a wrinkle
Can be found in its grace
Oh I guess that it's over
I guess the garden gods won
Who is the Adam and who is the son?
Man with his apple, Eve with her doom
They go down to the chapel
To sweep up the room
And there's nothing to grapple with
No twine or bind
If you lie down in the clover
Then a vine you will find
If it is in our power
To make a paradise
Then hold onto your flower
And close your good eyes
Make a wish for the garden
And let's see how your love grows
For it's all schadenfreude
Like the name of the rose
