The Olive Hedge Lyrics

I don't feel the need not to care, not to weep

I'll take a walk and keep my wits about myself

(Wooden bridge by the brook, climb the birch, take a look over the olive hedge, see me pacing)

I don't want to mind, I'll keep my wits about myself

I'll take a walk to drown it out

Drown in this garden rain

I wonder why I feel such pain

Dress a rose in my hair

Elbows against a cold stone chair

Rolling hills, sun is out

Marble eyes look about

They watch me walk around and think about my life

(Wooden bridge by the brook, climb the birch, take a look over the olive hedge, see me pacing)

And what I say, they watch me walk around

And think about the stupid things I say

Fountains feed the flowers' leaves'

Complexions' turned pale just like me

Pluck a rose from the hedge

Meadows enrich my every breath

I don't feel the need not to care, not to weep

I'll take a walk and keep my wits about myself

(Wooden bridge by the brook, climb the birch, take a look over the olive hedge, see me pacing)

I don't want to die, I'll keep my wits about myself

I'll take a walk to drown it out

Drown in this garden rain

I wonder why I feel such pain
