The Garden Lyrics

When I'm in my garden I am happy

The fires burn as far as I can see

We'll raise a glass and make a toast at midnight

And dance and watch it burn, my god and me

For he offered me a seat up on a wretched wooden bench

And poured me up a nightcap right at dawn

I sank into the greatest night of sleep I'd ever had

Curled up naked in the ashes on the lawn

For we dug the roots out from the tree of life

We watched the branches fall into night

To our delight the flames were burn it all to dust

Til the waters came and took the rest of us

For the sky was ripped right open and the rain began to pour

There was nothing to be done but take our fate

I poured my final glass from a long forgotten flask

To great the flood at the backyard garden gate

For me dug the roots out from the tree of life

We watched the branches fall into the night

To our delight the flames would burn it all to dust

Til the waters came and took the rest of us

Oh we dug the roots out from the tree of life

Yea we watched the branches fall into the night

To our delight the flames would burn it all to dust

Til the waters came and took the rest of us

When I was in my garden I was happy

The fires burned as far as I could see

We raised a glass and made a toast at midnight

Danced and watched it burn my god and me

Oh we dug the roots out from the tree of life

We watched the branches fall into the night

To our delight the flames would burn it all to dust

Til the waters came and took the rest of us

No the waters came and took the rest of us

Oh the waters came and took the rest of us
