Chocolate Garden

From my good neighbor
Livin south of the borderline
I get my share of avocados
From interstate 65
I married one to love
Tomato from my backyard
Then ceremonial garlic salt
Rained from the everlasting stars
Oh my good neighbor
Down the line at the Carry farms
Where one day soon a child of wonder
Will be a child of all
And I'm still broken about
The mother I had in mind
But she flew the fields
Crop circles aside
My queen of the cob
I loved you then and always will

I got everything I need
Chocolate earth
And a bag of seeds
And the leakage from the good lord's water bed
Should my vegetables go rotten
From my garden long forgotten
I will lean upon the kindness of my friends
Wash along with the dinner plates
My helping hands

She was a hurricane dancing in the dark
My colored cove
He put the hammer to the nail
That sparked the flash that drove her home
He was the mood that nearly
Pulled the blue right off the earth
Around the time of the shake and burst
Of embryonic forest neighbors
Offered a choir
Of crouching angels
To whip him through
The house we built
And made our love in the crochet quilt
There in the last of the dawns we prayed
Was all I ever wanted for you

I got everything I need
Chocolate earth
And a bag of trees
And the leakage from the good lord's water bed
Should my vegetables go rotten
From my garden long forgotten
I will lean upon the kindness of my friends
Wash along with the dinner plates
My helping hands
Wash along with the dinner plates
My helping hands
