The Garden Song

歌詞

I let him into my garden A bad mistake And what used to be lovely Has gone away. Gone away, the sparrows And the silver leaf plums. Fruits have fallen wasted And left spoiling in the sun. Oh what a mess he made. Oh what a mess he made. Our shape in the lilies Crushed where we lay, And withered went the roses, Thorns and shame. Thorns and shame. He took with him the rain. He took what was lovely And left me hollow here to waste. Oh what a mess he made. Oh what a mess he made. He overturned the silver fountain Now it's water's running mud, And ruined all relfections And ruined my love. My love, my love, Down fell the doves, Gray-eyed and flightless, Down fell the doves. Oh what a mess he made. Oh what a mess he made.
