Desert of Eden

Oh I once believed
When the sun set it was a seed
And tomorrow would again be blooming

But the nights took their toll
As we dreamt of scenic roads
Needing only to remember the light to grow

We are all gardeners gardening
The Garden of Eden it grows without gardeners

I had a vision at dawn
History made yawn by yawn
An assembly line of God's own invention

So I sought obscurity
Light moving too fast to be seen
Living in the land of tornados is really such a breeze

We are all gardeners gardening
The Garden of Eden it grows without gardeners

I was on the shoreline of my feelings
I was a painter I was seeing
A great green mountain of candid breathing

But the canvas was careless
Its makeup had become a mess
And when I finished putting it on
That's the moment all of its meaning left

We are all gardeners gardening
The Garden of Eden it grows without gardeners
We are in the Garden of Eden weeding
And when we finish with that weeding
We find it's a desert of Eden where we are now living
