Polly Jean Harvey - The Garden lyrics

rate me

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
