You take a little fruit gum wrapper
And you toss it on the ground,
Mix it up good with a popsicle stick
And an old paper cup you found,
Add an empty tube of toothpaste
And dump it all where all can see,
And you've got a Glop Glop Grungy
Glub Garden
Where the playground used to be.
You take a great big smokey chimney
And puff smoke in the air,
Then mix it up good with a diesel truck
And blow it everywhere,
Now add a dash of hazy sunshine
Peekin' through a skinny yellow tree,
And you've got a Glop Glop Grungy
Glub Garden
Where the flowers used to be.
Makin' a mess may be all right
And quite a sight to see,
But be quite sure before you mess things up
That you can clean up the mess
Before it messes up me.
You take a lot of trash and dump it in the bottom of the sea;
The octopuses and the oysters
Won't complain to you and me,
But someday you might get hungry
For a tuna fish fricassee,
And you've got a Glop Glop Grungy
Glub Garden
Where the ocean used to be.
And you've got a Glop Glop Grungy
Glub Garden
Where the whole world used to be.
VERSE
In this one of many possible worlds
All for the best or some bizarre test
It is what it is and whatever
Time is still the infinite jest
The arrow flies when you dream
The hours tick away
The cells tick away
The Watchmaker keep to his schemes
The hours tick away
They tick away
CHORUS
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect
So hard to earn, so easily burned
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect
So hard to earn, so easily burned
In the fullness of time
A garden to nurture and protect
VERSE
In the rise and set of the sun
To the stars goes spinning
Spinning 'round the night
Oh it is what it is and forever
Each moment of memory aflight
The arrow flies while you dream
The hours tick away
The cells tick away
The Watchmaker has time up his sleeve
The hours tick away
They tick away
CHORUS
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect
So hard to earn, so easily burned
In the fullness of time
A garden to nurture and protect
(Its a measure of a life)
The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect
The way you live,
the gifts that you give
And the fullness of time is the only return I do expect
BRIDGE
The future disappears into memory
With only a moment between
Forever dwells in that moment
Hope is what remains to be seen
Forever dwells in that moment
Hope is what remains to be seen

In the fullness of time a garden to nurture and protect

(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman)
Come into the garden, It's magical trees
Dapple the sun as they sway with each lazy breeze;
They'll set your mind at ease.
Pretend you're a child, with nothing to hide,
Then we'll join hands and let the universe swing wide;
We'll lay our fears aside
Hold me, here we can soon be born again
Trust me, believe we can still be born again
We've been sleeping all our lives,
Atleast we can open our eyes.
Our gates are unguarded, I've stolen the key,
To where everything holy inside us is free to run free;
To smell and taste and touch and see.
Hold me, here we can soon be born again.
Trust me, believe we can still be born again.
We've been sleeping all our lives,
In the garden of Truth
There dwells as bird
With feathers of a yellow gold
And all thru' the day
The sun he play upon his raiment gay
In the garden of Truth
There dwells as bird
With feathers of a silver pale
And all night long
The moon she shone upon her raiment warm
And all within the branches of this great oak tree
That some call the Tree of Life
And the wise men they come
And they rest upon the roots
And they hear the song.
And all within the branches of this great oak tree
That some call the Tree of Life
Ande the wisemen they come
To rest upon the roots
and he was walking in the garden
and he was walking in the night
and he was singing a sad love song
and he was praying for his life
and the stars came out around him
he was thinking of his sins
and he's looking at his song-bird
and he's looking at his wings
there inside the garden
came another with his lips
said, 'Won't you come and be my lover?'
'Let me give you a little kiss?'
and he came, knelt down before him
and fell upon his knees
said, 'I will give you gold and mountains
if you stay a while with me...'
and there was trouble taking place...
there inside the garden
they kissed, and the sun rose
and he walked a little further
and he found he was alone
and the wind, it gathered round him
he was thinking of his sins
he was looking at his song-bird
and he was looking at his wings
You know you're all alone
Your friends they aren't at home
Everybody's gone to the garden
As you look into the trees
You can look but you don't see
The flowers seem to tease you at the garden
Everybody's there, but you don't seem to care
What's it with you man, and this
garden
TURNED INTO MY WORST PHOBIA,
A CRAZY MAN'S UTOPIA
IF YOU'RE LOST NO ONE CAN SHOW YA,
BUT IT SURE WAS GLAD TO KNOW YA
ONLY POOR BOYS TAKE A CHANCE,
ON THE GARDEN'S SONG AND DANCE,
FEEL HER FLOWERS AS THEY WRAP AROUND,
BUT ONLY SMART BOYS DO WITHOUT
You can find it all inside
No need to wrestle with your pride
No you ain't losin' your mind
You're just in the garden
They can lead you to yourself
Or you can throw it on the shelf
But you know you can look inside
For the garden
I WASN'T REALLY SCARED
LOST MY VIRGINITY THERE,
TO A GYPSY WITH BLOND HAIR
BUT NOW NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE
LIKE A MOUSE INSIDE A MAZE
WANDERING ROUND 4 DAZE
WITH A SMILE UPON MY FACE,
I NEVER WANNA LEAVE THIS PLACE
ONLY POOR BOYS TAKE A CHANCE,
ON THE GARDEN'S SONG AND DANCE,
FEEL HER FLOWERS AS THEY WRAP AROUND,
BUT ONLY SMART BOYS DO WITHOUT
TURNED INTO MY WORST PHOBIA,
A CRAZY MAN'S UTOPIA
IF YOU'RE LOST NO ONE CAN SHOW YA,
BUT IT SURE WAS GLAD TO KNOW YA
BYE BYE
SO LONG, BYE BYE
IT'S GLAD TO KNOW YA
BYE BYE
BYE BYE
And the fishermen came back across the water
And the people started running in the park
And the city stopped as i held you in my arms
We could hear the sound of sirens all around us
And the scent of burning oil was in the air
And the music played
And it felt so good to hear
This is the life we've been given
So open your mind and start living
We can play a part if we only start believing
There's a stranger on the hill and he is speaking
As the tear from every cloud begin to fall
For one moment then we understood it all
Everyone everyone can you hear the soldiers coming
Everyone everyone every man and every women
We all fall in the end we're just miracles of matter
So come on let me love you
This is the life we've been given
So open your mind and start living
We can play a part if we only start believing
This is the life we've been given
So open your heart and start loving
We can make a start if we only learn to listen
Then the crowd began to head for the horizon
A million people walking back to work
But you and me we just lay down in the garden
Yeah you and me we just lay down in the garden
This is the life we've been given
So open your heart and start loving
We can make a start if we only learn to listen
You and me we just lay down in the garden
I woke up one morning,
To a crystal castle, all alone-
Looked outside, and there lay before me
A garden of dreams all my own-
Barefoot I walked by it's sparkling stream,
Smiled to the fish swimming there-
Said "Hello" to the frog on his rock,
Flew with the birds in the air-
CHORUS 1:
Each man builds his own garden,
By what his heart says is true-
And mine is so very special to me,
Can I trust it with you-
Well my love, here's the key to the garden,
Tread soft as you travel it's lands-
Walk with bare feet, say "Hello" to the frog,
And drink from the stream with your hands-
I remember you smiled and said
"You know, I've seen this before"
And the wind sang a love song so sweet-
The flowers bowed down their heads as you passed,
And the grass sparkled under your feet-
CHORUS 2:
Each man builds his own garden,
By what his heart says is true-
And mine is so very special to me,
But it seems I can share it with you-
We reached the end of the garden,
You said "You know, this will work out just fine"
"The reason it seemed so familiar to me,
Is that yours is built right next to mine."
"Together we've built the same garden,
The very same stream running through-
And I think the walls between us should fall,
So that there'll be one garden for two."
CHORUS 3:
Each man builds his own garden,
By what his heart says is true-
And I thank the stars that watch over me
Because ours is a garden for two-
And he was walking in the garden
And he was walking in the night
And he was singing a sad love song
And he was praying for his life
And the stars came out around him
He was thinking of his sins
And he's looking at his song-bird
And he's looking at his wings
There, inside the garden
Came another with his lips
Said "won't you come and be my lover ?"
"Let me give you a little kiss"
And he came knelt down before him
And fell upon his knees
"I will give you gold and mountains
If you stay a while with me"
And there was trouble
Taking place
Trouble
Taking place
There, inside the garden
They kissed and the sun rose
And he walked a little further
And he found he was alone
And the wind it gathered round him
He was thinking of his sins
And he's looking for his song-bird
He was looking for his wings
And there was trouble
Taking place
Trouble
Taking place
There was trouble
Taking place
Trouble
Taking place
[Pt.1: Thorns Of Creation]
New light has formed, from the darkness torn
Of dust and sand, mankind is born
Our garden evergreen, it's flowers, so serene
We sing along with birds naked, free
Our curiosity led us to a tree
We ate from it the fruits of poisoned destiny
[Pt.2: Trouble In The Garden]
Horns of goat, tongue of serpent
Head of dog, body of man
He has chosen to pervert God's land
In his heaven
The Garden Of Unearthly Delights
Flowers of blood grow in love's garden
Upon the black grass of betrothal
We have chosen to pervert God's land
This our heaven
The Garden Of Unearthly Delights
[Pt.3 Into The Valley Of Violent Orchids]
[(I) Cadaverous Butterfly]
Stillborn beauty greets the air
Cadaverous Butterfly draws near
Skullish face, scarlet wings
Eerie grace of death she brings
Haggard marble crosses bare
Entrance to her pesty lair
Skullish face, Vampire wings
Demon's ace fluttering
Poisoned perfume leads you there
Carnivorous insect has you snared
Fallen prey, mesmerised
Skullish face eats your eyes
[(II) Blind Mans Gaze]
In steaming woodlands you awake,
Eyes dripping blood
Rats digging a grave at your feet as
Storm clouds gather above
In earths garden, nature sings mans requiem
Damp, numb, lost on the cold ground
Whilst spiders explore your flesh
Raise your head from mossy stone and
Slimy dew on which you rest
In death's sanction - all life's beauty is its end
[Pt.4 Flight Of The Reaper]
[(I) Court Of The Cosmic Judge]
Witching moon burning - frozen sun ashamed to rise
Earth's vampires thirsting - for a final taste of life
Flight of the reaper, coming back to greet man's end
Cosmic Judge awakens, from his council we're expelled
White dove on fire - flies into Azrael's sky
Black-winged messiah - accepts man's sacrifice
Flight of the reaper - he arrives at his promised land
Our funeral curator - cups the earth with skeletal hands
[(II) Tunnel Of Death]
[Pt.5 Alarm Bells In Paradise]
[(I) Mourning Of A Paused Dawn]
Dawn creeps on, as night withdraws
Orchid sun - rises paused
[(II) Black Bulbophyllum Sunrise]
Buldophyllum, Barbigerum
Purpureoachis, Dyanum
Dendrochilum, Cobbianum
Orchis - Mascula
[Pt.6 Exit The Valley Of Violent Orchids]
[(I) Through The Concrete Meadows Of Life]
You pass the valley of death
Rejoin the ghoulish droll procession
You thought you had left
Orikifirus sends down hearses
From the kingdom of dead our sun
Whores to oblivion now are taken
To your promised land
[(II) Chains of Morality]
Burning in the flames of pious self-shame
A pure, divine existence can't be reborn again
For your virtue there is no reward
Grand illusions of a heaven flawed
Break the skeletal chain - to be reborn again
No lies, no shame, an existence profane
Celebrating our freedom
In this prison of God's kingdom
[Pt.7 {ie Pt.c (c)} Back To The Garden]
Fireless sun, Morgue like planet
Deceased minds now control it
We have chosen to accept God's land
This is our heaven
The Garden Of Unearthly Delights
[Pt.8 Pool Of Sleeping Minds]
[Pt.9 Endtyme]
Soldiers now walk through the streets so cold
Concrete walls, dark buildings fall
Our garden has turned grey, its beauty gone away
Earth became a grave for mature's way
Seeds of decay have grown into today
Beg you listen me, don't be kissing me 'til I'm done
Unsung champion, reason, like seasoning
Pepper your thoughts with spice, and entice you to a space
Where I dwell with bass players and layers and loops
Think what I think with my prayers. It's nice. My world is everything I've become
Contained in the hum between voice and drum
I'm coming from the same place I'm still running from
White ribbon
Wedding gown
She walked into the garden
What has she found
Oh sorrow
Untold sorrow
There would be no groom
She left him as she
Found him
Empty inside
But this time it was
Much too late
Nothing to hide
Oh her soul
Never left the garden
Black ribbon
Long black gown
She's walking through
Her memory
And he was walking in the garden
And he was walking in the night
And he was singing a sad love song
And he was praying for his life
And the stars came out around him
He was thinking of his sins
And he's looking at his song-bird
And he's looking at his wings
There, inside the garden
Came another with his lips
Said ";won't you come and be my lover ?";
";Let me give you a little kiss";
And he came knelt down before him
And fell upon his knees
";I will give you gold and mountains
If you stay a while with me";
And there was trouble
Taking place
Trouble
Taking place
There, inside the garden
They kissed and the sun rose
And he walked a little further
And he found he was alone
And the wind it gathered round him
He was thinking of his sins
And he's looking for his song-bird
He was looking for his wings
And there was trouble
Taking place
Trouble
Taking place
There was trouble
Taking place
Trouble
Taking place
Oh oh i really wanted that thing
I just want to sing
I love you baby
Won't you bring
All the flowers you
Find out in the garden
Don't tell me the truth
That your heart has hardened
But you don't want me anymore
How can it be
Look what you've done to me
Oh oh
Oh oh the bee does quickly sting
I was wondering
If you could maybe darling
Think? I'd give everything
If you'd grant my love a pardon
And all the fruits
Again would fill the garden
But you don't want me anymore
How can it be?
Look what you've done to me
Oh oh
Do you believe in the man in the garden
Do you believe that he was there
Do you believe in the man in the garden
Do you believe or do you care
Did he rise from the ashes and lead the sky above
Did he lie in the name of love
....in the garden
Do you believe in the path that you follow
Do you believe it takes you where you want
Do you believe in the lies that you swallow
Do you believe it takes you where you go
See the man. He never lies he never will
Did he fight for the right to kill
....in the garden
....in the garden
There's a little man in a house alone...waiting
He doesn't lie.
He doesn't wait for love to hold on to
He doesn't lie. He doesn't wait...
Johnny's in the garden
I see the err in my ways
....in the garden
At night
Burned by desire
I reveled in no pain
That is greater than love
I'm in a web
I TASTED BLOOD IN THE GARDEN
I'm in a maze, I'm in a maze
SO THEY HUNG SCIENCE IN MY HEART
I'm in a web
"YOUR PHONEY GHOSTS WENT BY" I LAUGHED
I'm in a maze, I'm in a maze
"I DRAGGED THEM OUT OF THE DARK"
I'm open wide
I PRESSED THORNS INTO MY FLESH
I am awake, I am awake
MY EYES LOOK LIKE CLAWS
I'm open wide
MAN EATING MAN EATING MAN
I am awake, I am awake
MY SICKNESS IS MY REWARD
I'm in a web
I'D SWEAR I SAW THE SUNLIGHT SHAKE
I'm in a maze, I'm in a maze
THE SKY'S ALL OVER MY HEAD
I'm in a web
I'M FEELING GRAVITY HARDEN
I'm in a maze, I'm in a maze
SOUNDING THE ALARM FROM THE CENTRE OF A FLOWERBED
I'm open wide
I AM THE ONLY ONE AWAKE
I am awake, I am awake
AND I'M SO WELL INFORMED
I'm open wide
I'LL SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE
I am awake, I am awake
IN THE EYE OF A BRAINSTORM
I AM RESPONSIBLE
We've been sleeping in the garden
Breath of summer, breath of gold
As we turn against the sweep of hills
The sky's aglow
We fade away
We fade away
She burns away in light and silver
Luminous through all these years
Every gesture filled with longings
I still feel
We fade away
We fade away
We fade away
We fade away
I see you standing in the long light
Dress discarded, windows glow
All across the wild horizons
The sunset goes
We fade away
We fade away
We fade away
she said come with me to the garden walk with me if you dare through the fog in the darkness take my hand if you're scared
i gonna take you places you never been before far only to the unknown? hard rose? behind the door
she seduces you with her words she confuses you when it touch? she's a beautiful girl with a wonderful smile but she won't fool me
i gonna tell you secrets details you never heard slowly her lips are moving but i can't tell the words
Only time can clarify my doubts
All this time I was hoping and praying
Beyond my dreams you can find some love
But there is no love without pain
How does it feel to know?
You will never be alone
My innocence to believe in desires
Bring me closer to a heart attack
Even when you're almost going home
I know you're not coming back
Dressed up with my mask of pain
Life is everything that remains
My time is getting short to live
I need to find someone to love
I want to kill all my pain inside
My destiny can change the course of love
My time is getting short to live
I need to find someone to love
Cause no one can change the breath of love
Every flower in the garden is dead
And I know the secret place of your heart
Maybe you will never break the bone
Now I have a reason to become strong
Dressed up with my mask of pain
For sure I'll never be the same
My time is getting short to live
I need to find someone to love
I want to kill all my pain inside
My destiny can change the course of love
My time is getting short to live
I need to find someone to love
[Verse 1:]
Oh how I love you
So much it hurts too
Sit by and watch you
Go through all the things that you do
Because of restricition
I need your permission
So that I can flow freely
And you can live life abundantly.
[Chorus]
Let me take you back to the garden
Where we first met
Where we walked and talked
Everyday until the sunset
When you fall don't run and hide just come and find me
I'll be right there to restore your destiny.
[Verse 2:]
0h how I long for
That you opened the door
And there's nothing between us
I have all your heart and your trust
I made provision
To redeem your position
And I know this time you'll spend
I am reaching out take my hand
Here's where we're going
[Chorus x2:]
Let me take you back to the garden
Where we first met
Where we walked and talked
Everyday until the sunset
When you fall don't run and hide just come and find me
I'll be right there to restore your destiny.
[Bridge:]
Let me take you there
To the place of hope again
It's a wonderland
Where I'm your joy and there's no fear
Will you follow me
I will lead you to my promises
That I'll always be
You can count on me
Remember remember
I'll never leave
[Chorus:]
Let me take you back to the garden
Where we first met
Where we walked and talked
Everyday until the sunset
When you fall don't run and hide just come and find me
I'll be... I'll be right there to restore your destiny
Let me take you back
Back
Where we first met
todo... and the sky with no sunset
Walk around the garden
Choking at the weeds
Won't you come and help me
Try and sow some seeds
All the trees are weeping,
Branches hanging low
Seems as if they know that
They haven't long to go
All the world's a funfair
Hide behind your mask
Say that you're enjoying it
If anybody ask
Don't believe in sinners,
Don't believe in sin
Love is all the answers
So why don't we begin
Taking up the story that Jesus told
It's older than the years
All the seeds he planted have blossomed
Into concrete walls of fear
Lying in the gutter,
Gazing at the stars
Like to send a letter
To the men on Mars
Asking if they'd help us,
Help us if they cold
Come and weed this garden
i slept next to your broken wrist and dreamt i was a vine
that grew out of a lovers' kiss and wrapped around your
spine. will you stay in my life? i wish we were tied
together sometimes. entwined by a family line. i wish i
was your sister sometimes like tonight. i'd dry your
eyes, you'd cough and then smile and say you'd be all
right. will you be all right? i'd trace the tatoo on the
back of your neck, there's a picture drawn there of the
place you left, whre you cannot see it but you can't
forget. it's there permanently like a badge of regret.
there's a row of ocean shells where there should be a
garden. one for each whispered word you could tell me,
one for each secret. so on shell stars in a dirt sky, i
wish you'd trade your secrets for mine. i'd plant them
and in time flowers would bloom and burst through the
room where we'd lie, they'd cover our eyes, i'd ve that
vine, the sun would shine in an endless spingtime. but
for now the flower pots only hold cigarette-butts.
there's a headstone above the nights we talked. there's a
different name whispered in your yard, but it sounds the
same as the one you want. and now i feel so overwhelmed,
i had to sit out by myself on the curb beside your house,
with my collar in my mouth. and the feelings that i felt,
i had to lay them all out in chalk-writing on the ground,
for you to step around. and the rain that ends the
drought and would've let our seeds sprout will just wash
There’s a dark fading light
In the garden where you
Lay your head tonight
Through the darkened hours
Were you thinking of me?
A state of sleep
Is what you’d rather be
There’s a pale
Purple moonlight
In the garden where you
Lay your head to die
Frozen dreams and nightmares
Have you forgetting a dream
Of what you always thought
You could have been…
Hey don’t draw the line
Did you know that you’re right
So baby blue don’t cry
Don’t you go now…
Don’t you go now…
There’s a stale morning light
In the garden where you lay
All through the night
Through this poisoned nightmare
Have you set yourself free?
With thoughts and dreams
Of what you’re gonna be…
Hey don’t draw the line
Did you know that you’re right
So baby blue don’t cry
Don’t you go now…
Don’t you go now…
Hey don’t draw the line
Did you know it’ll be all right
So baby blue don’t cry
Don’t you go now…
Don’t you go now…
Hey don’t draw the line
Did you know it’ll be all right
My baby blues don’t cry
Don’t you go now…
Don’t you go now…
Hey don’t draw the line
Did you know that you’re right
So baby blue don’t cry
Don’t you go now…
Behind shadows, behind fingers
I'm hiding my true passion
To be, to be alone
In my garden,
in its corners
I'm looking for the path of my thoughts in the dark
Open the gate, it's the rigth time
Let the wind makes a ring the trees
Let the shadows move on the ways
I'm entering the tomb of talesHere you find revived puppets
One of them is you
I'm coming to everyone like the trees and feelings
Here you find - maybe yourself
Behind shadows, behind fingers
I'm hiding my true passion
To be, to be alone
In my garden,
in its corners
I'm looking for the path of my thoughts in the dark
And there was day
And there was night
There was dark
And there was light
There was the earth
There was the sky
And there in the tree
There crawled a lie
There in Eden
There was good
There in the garden
Where the Tree of Life stood
There the snake was
There the pain
And we're tryin' to get back
To the garden again
There was fire
There was rain
There was talk
There was shame
They were moanin'
They were cryin'
But there still is a glimmer
Would you like
To slip away into the garden
Where mystery flies
And magical vines
Twist and turn inside your mind
It's a blast
Here at the ole whimsical gardens
Where everyone dreams
Grand illusions are freed
From the constant poisons that we breathe
So tonight, we'll lay in the garden
Where we'll bury our souls into the ground
Then tonight, we'll pray in the garden
Where we'll lift our souls from out of the ground
Just relax
And we will feast on your emotions
Open your mouth and let it come out
Every single word will form a phrase
Don't refrain
Are you so full of so much anger
Every stitch on your lip starts to itch
Until it all comes pouring out your lids
So tonight we'll lay in the garden
Where we'll bury our souls into the ground
Then tonight we'll pray in the garden
Breathe in with awe the perfect scent
The garden proud and free
Where time has come and gone and spent
Throughout eternity
The primrose sweet, the carefree air
Memories, mesmerize
A calm so true
A love affair
Whispering warm good-byes
Foliages plenty of to boast
Reflect the sunlights's eyes
Wild the rushing wind it blows
No soul where beauty lies
The seeds that seem so keen to find
A secret hiding place
Down paths that twirl and twist and wind
An endless, timeless race
The silence takes a sudden breath
And darkness rings with hate
As shadows move to ugly dephts
This wilderness spells fate
At first with wonder they explore
And sleep and sleep beneath the skies
They watch the sunset rise and fall
With poignant jealous, jealous eyes
They watch the sunset rise and fall
But slowly then they come to see
Their image is so coarse
And ponder on their vanity
With uncontrolled remorse
And the tree houses start to shake
Their roots scream silent tears
For all the heart it took to make
It won't last out the year
Ripped is the bark, the petals shed
Beauty faces her death
Destruction rears its ugly head
Crushes the last weak breath
This day the sun became as dark
As feathers of a crow
The only light that dares embark
Is the covering snow
The water lilies float no more
Upon the murky pond
Red apples rot right to the core
Forever lost beyond
So sigh now for those radiant days
When silence was a breeze
When birds with happiness could bathe
And hide and play among the leaves
They watch the sunset rise and fall
Retreat of mine how low you steep
Your flowers laid to rest
Lost in time with no grass to reap
All visitors incensed
The wind it too seems to avoid
Passes by, never stays
That perfect garden now destroyed
She planted roses the first year we married
it soon was a garden we'd go walking through
My job kept me travling but when I came home to heaven
She was so proud to show me all the love that she grew
I heard her talking one day to a old friend
She said I don't want to hurt him but it's out of control
I feel so guilty 'cause he'll be so helpless
He won't understand why I just got to go.
Now I come to the garden alone
All my reasons I once had for living are gone
Sometimes when I feel like I just cant go on
I come to the garden alone.
No one can imagine just how much I miss her
I'd give up this whole world to once more hold her near
It's just beyond me on why god took her from me
I bet the flowers in heaven are looking better this year.
Where the dew kissed the roses
You might not like the look of my friend
or the excuses you will hear her give
hollow eyes and terrible skin would work if only she could fit in
her and her boy like to lie under the calm of the eastern moon
yeah her and her boy like to ride upon a needle, needle and spoon
She's in the garden now and I run with it I run with it yeah
a pretty garden made in mind
and when she's cut she's cut and I run with it I run with it yeah
when she's in the garden she's alright
So you're finally here you look more dead than you do alive
the reasons obviously clear but i wonder if you question why
their bodies are well educated on the poppies that keep then thin
their love for each other is stated more than others could,
more than others think
She's in the garden now and I run with it I run with it yeah
a pretty garden made in mind
and when she's cut she's cut and I run with it I run with it yeah
Come on and burn
Put your two lungs to work
Oh I say burn
Put your two lungs to work
For the ganja smoking, for the ganja
For the ganja smoking, for the ganja
Babylon you break the very laws that you made
To ban out Jah garden is a mistake
I mon is the roots and not the branches
I see through your lies little son of a ...
Lord bless I wit the abundant herb for meditation
Grow it and spread it to the whole nation
Nuff of the yout spread negative vibration
All wrapped up in downpression
But in I herbal garden is a sweet medicine for me
In I herbal garden is what inspired this melody
Come on and burn
Put your two lungs to work
Oh I say burn
Put your two lungs to work
For the ganja smoking, for the ganja
For the ganja smoking, for the ganja
Sensimilla is a gift from Jah
I will not follow your man made law
nah cause no trouble with Jah herb in me pipe
Yes me fire up and yes me feel alright

To plant tribal seeds is what I and I choose
Never disrespect I will never abuse
It is laws of the book, I follow the rules
In I herbal garden is a sweet medicine for me
In I herbal garden is what inspired this melody
Come on and burn
Put your two lungs to work
Oh I say burn
Put your two lungs to work
For the ganja smoking, for the ganja
For the ganja smoking, for the ganja
In a dub war
Can I get some meditation today
Can I get a good vibration today
Can I get some meditation today
Can I get a good vibration today
Please mister herbs man
Whoa mister herbs man
Yea collie herbs man
I bare the weight of the birds above me. I know their song cause it's
Only for me. Water the garden. Get shot in the street. Fountains flood
Cities up to their knees. Palms bend the light into shinning glory.
Cloud shades the home that will never house me. It never rains and she
Never weeps. It never rains and she never weeps. We took the words
From the mouths of our children. Turned them to flags running high
Over mountains. Trust in this life, there is no other. Look in my eyes
Hey you, you have never seen
Cause it fades so fast
You left with
A bitter taste
I'm here with your shadows on the wall
And it still lingers
Stack a grain to a grain
Until it falls down again
Still the hunger lies inside
In your Garden a field so wide
Wash it all down the lake
Even the flowers wear disguise
Instincts governs you
It shuts all my five senses
Searching, running blind
Did you find what your looking for
PART 1 - THE GARDEN OF UNEARTHLY DELIGHTS
Welcome to the garden of dreams,
A place filled with kaleidoscopic sights.
Welcome to the essence of ‘not as it seems',
The place known as ‘The Garden....
Come and have the time of your life
Indulge in a concoction of the strangest wild life.
Be thrilled, be scared, live on the edge of the knife,
Come on down to The Garden...of Unearthly Delights.
Hieronymus got it right,
Ever-changing black to white.
Come in darkness, come in light,
To the Garden, (to The Garden, to The Garden) of Unearthly delights.
Shed all your cares and fan the fire
Enjoy the elevation of the hidden desire
To get all you want, just crawl into the mire
There's nothing like the Garden...of Unearthly Delights.
Hieronymus got it right,
Ever-changing black to white.
Come in darkness, come in light,
To the Garden, (to ‘The Garden')
Hieronymus got it right,
Ever-changing black to white.
Come in darkness, come in light,
To the Garden, (to The Garden, to The Garden) of Unearthly delights.
PART ll - DRAGON'S LAIR
Sinking low, drowning fast,
It's getting deeper, the longer you last.
Can't touch ground, can't see the top,
Don't look up or down, you might not stop.
You try and try, but try as you might,
You just can't crawl out of the night.
Shivering cold, all but stripped bare,
You're making your way to the dragon's lair.
Slowly going underground,
Treading soft, careful, don't make a sound,
Your mind is racing at a million miles an hour.
You find the strength from deep within,
You know this time you have to win,
You hope it's not too late for you to rise again.
Careful now, you're almost there,
Just a little further...
Now it begins.
PART lll - UNDERGROUND
What do you do when you are like this?
Can you see at all?
When it gets you, it spits you right in the face!
And when all that you have is gone,
There's no one left but you and you alone.
Slowly going underground,
Treading soft, careful, don't make a sound,
Your mind is racing at a million miles an hour.
You find the strength from deep within,
You know this time you've got to win,
You hope it's not too late for you to rise again.

You find the strength from deep within,
You know this time you've got to win,
You hope it's not too late for you to rise again.
PART lV - REALIZATION
Finally knowing where you're bound,
Restoring life to barren ground
Your heart is beating so much faster than before.
You found the strength from deep within,
You knew this time you had to win,
You know it's not too late for you to rise again.
PART V - THE WAY BACK HOME
Now you've been to ‘The Garden'
What delights did you think you'd find?
Did you feel good in ‘The Garden'?
Enclosing everything, inside your mind.
Always something tearing you apart. (In ‘The Garden'.)
Always something breaking your heart. (In ‘The Garden'.)
Now you're free from ‘The Garden'.
You turned your back on that way of life.
Found in a better world, reason takes you another way.
Bound for a better land, where the season renews you every day.
Free..., In charge of my soul again.
I can see..., what's outward and what is within.
All around, hear the sound of two hearts that beat as one,
I've finally found my way back home..., to the place where my heart belongs.
Never alone..., turn my face to the rising sun
Joyful tears, no more fears, and my mind is finally clear,
O light shine down on me You know what I need Shine down on me Shine down on the garden Shine down on the garden
Sweet earth alive under me You know what I need Cradle me like a seed As I lay in the garden As I lay in the garden
O wise and beautiful tree Standing high over me Oh the things you have seen Tell me your story in the garden Tell it to me in the garden
And tell me How long have we slept How long have we wept There's work to be done
Sky above So vast and so deep You know what I need Rain down on me Rain down on the garden Rain down on the garden
O light surrounding me Sweet mystery In everything I see Come and find me in the garden Come and find me in the garden
I walk in the garden as the light is fading
and I know who I am, I know who I am
I walk on the streets with my heart wide open
and I know where the ground is, I know where the ground is
Beneath my feet I plant these seeds to bring back life to those who died
Man, woman and child all reconciled and it's a true cliché
We need no proof, it's quiet clear
We know, we know what makes the flowers grow
Woman paints a picture, red blood on white sheets
and I know who I am, I know who I am
Another crucifixion for a man with vision
I know where the ground, I know where the sound is
These hands we hold to be free, one act of kindness recognized
Man, woman and child all reconciled and it's a true cliché
We need no proof, it's quiet clear
We know, we know, we know what makes the flowers grow
Love, love makes the flowers grow
and it's a true cliché
We need no proof it's quiet clear
There's a dark fading light
In the garden where you
Lay your head tonight
Through the darkened hours
Were you thinking of me?
A state of sleep
Is what you'd rather be
There's a pale
Purple moonlight
In the garden where you
Lay your head to die
Frozen dreams and nightmares
Have you forgetting a dream
Of what you always thought
You could have been
Hey don't draw the line
Did you know that you're right
So baby blue don't cry
Don't you go now
Don't you go now
There's a stale morning light
In the garden where you lay
All through the night
Through this poisoned nightmare
Have you set yourself free?
With thoughts and dreams
Of what you're gonna be
Hey don't draw the line
Did you know that you're right
So baby blue don't cry
Don't you go now
Don't you go now
Hey don't draw the line
Did you know it'll be all right
So baby blue don't cry
Don't you go now
Don't you go now
Hey don't draw the line
Did you know it'll be all right
My baby blues don't cry
Don't you go now
Don't you go now
Hey don't draw the line
Did you know that you're right
So baby blue don't cry
Don't you go now
