I'll Tend My Garden Lyrics

Home inside my head well I'll tend mine

And out of doors the garden grows in vines

The nettle stings, the spurge it brings

A burning sap that burns our things

I'll plant my seeds and hopefully

The honeybees will see

Well inside my four walls are light and clean

But my old hose and my old shed it leaks

The thunder sings, the clouds they bring

A cooling rain that wets our things

Hopefully it will reach my seeds

And fruit will grow on the trees

I alone, I am a king

But my trees are crowned with Bittersweet

And out of doors I am so poor

But I'll try again next spring

I'll plant the seeds to bring the bees

And one day they'll be fruit on trees

Through summer glow and winter's snow

My old garden will grow
