Garden

I saw some seeds down by the river
I picked the greenest I could find
Oh it blew me away
The thought of loving you someday
Now in my garden you reside

And I laid your bed next to the roses
I cleared my best land out for you
Made sure to water every day
And in time I gave my heart away
There wasn't much I wouldn't do

But in the light I watched you grow
And in the rain I lent you my soul
I knew it wasn't wise
I knew I was enticed
And love it made me blind

But there's a place I aim to be
In a garden so lush and green
Am I really such a fool
To fall in love with you
And think it could come true
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah

I was so scared you would not love me
I was afraid you'd run away
Lift your roots up from the earth
And find a better man of birth
And in some other's bed you'd lay

And there were those who would advise me
To build a fence beyond the trees
While in a garden of our own there'd be no fear that she would roam
But such a prison's not for me

And in the light I watched you grow
And in the rain I lent you my soul
I knew it wasn't wise
I knew I was enticed
And love it made me blind

But there's a place I aim to be
In a garden so lush and green
Am I really such a fool
To fall in love with you
And think it could come true
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah

My worst fears they came upon me
In the season that you bloomed
Oh your beauty was such a sight
It caught the eyes of passerby
Ones much better fit than I

And I knew nothing I could say
Would be good reason that you stay
And like the soil that I once laid
I turned to dust and blew away
