The Gardener Lyrics

Planted by the creek

Put your roots down through the rocks

As you heard the long haired knock

Lit by stars and songs

Took a walk down out through the leaves

Out around the fallen trees

Oh in circles round you go

Torn and battered beat and cold

A home made from the fall

You out playing in your garden

Me out digging in my hole

A fire down below

Came up from the ground to show

All the stubble left untold

Oh you walk that chosen road

Knowing there's hope in going slow

Like a gardener watching what they've sown

Oh I feel it in my bones

Oh your fingers are cold

As they hold on to your last hope

Knuckles braved and sore

Burnt from not letting go

And over and over, you're company's shoulder

You're railway bound in this foreign town

Over and over,

I've held my tongue

But my hands are dried and scared

Hold on now, I can hear you calling

Hold on now, the river line is rising now

Hold on now, it's passing right before me

Lost in the shadows again

Your hands are my guide dear friend

Watch as your play begins

One step closer to the end

Oh I walk a familiar road

Your eyes from sea to stone

Oh forgo a lovers crown

Standing your unmarked ground

Saying oh oh oh

You fall down on your knees

You don't believe

Pastors grief

You hold your empty glass

an unmarked past

leaves to fast

But over and over, you're company's shoulder

You're railway bound in this foreign town

Over and over,

I've held my tongue

But my hands are dried and scared

Hold on now, I can hear you calling

Hold on now, the river line is rising now

Hold on now, it's passing right before me

Lost in the shadows again

Your hands are my guide dear friend

Watch as your play begins

One step closer to the end
