Rabbit in the Garden Lyrics

I been thinking 'bout the old days

I can still remember things

I had a big old family

I can tell you all their names

My daddy was a cook in the Army

His daddy worked the plow

After the war I made me some money

But it don't do me no good now

There's a ship upon the ocean

There's a ship upon the sea

It's going down but I don't care

Cause it's waiting there for me

I see me as a young man

And that ship in the fearful sea

I'm slipping with nowhere left to slide

And nothing's like it used to be

I shuffle around this house all day

You're sleeping in the bed so still

Waiting there for your supper

I love you and I always will

There's a rabbit in the garden

There's a ship upon the sea

It's going down and I don't mind

Cause it's waiting there for me

Maybe we're going to heaven, honey

Maybe we're going nowhere at all

See that rabbit in the garden

He won't be there for long

When you want to see yesterday

More than tomorrow's sun

Then it's time to say goodbye

Goodbye to everyone

People come to visit some

I can't understand their talk

They don't know what's coming

But it's not as funny as I thought

You may not always love me

Don't know why that's true

And I don't know what's coming

But I know I'll always love you

The party's over, baby

There's a ship upon the sea

You know how I hate to go

But it's waiting there
