Garden Wall

Although she's not alone she feels so lonely
And when they do make love, she feels untouched
When they kiss she feels no lips upon hers
Thought they have it all they've lost so much
Although they share a home she says "I miss you"
But when she speaks, it doesn't make a sound
Though her days are filled she feels so empty
'Cause even when he's there, he's not around
And they are
Living there behind the garden wall
In a house that's grown so small
No one sees the flowers fade and fall
There behind the garden wall
Although she took his name he is a stranger
And when he looks at her he doesn't see
That even as she smiles her heart is breaking
Because she knows the man he used to be
Season after season nothing changes
And reason after reason comes and goes
She wants to leave but hangs on to the feeling
That somewhere in the garden something grows
So they keep
Living there behind the garden wall
In a house that's grown so small
No one sees the flowers fade and fall
There behind the garden wall
Though they have it all, they've lost so much
They're still
Living there behind the garden wall
In a house that's grown so small
No one sees the flowers fade and fall
There behind the garden wall
