Now Is The Cool Of The Day

My love, she says unto me, 'Do you like my garden so fair?
You may live in this garden, if you keep my grasses green.
And I'll return in the cool of the day'

Now is the cool of the day (x2)
Oh, this earth is a garden, the garden of my love.
And she walks in her garden in the cool of the day

Then my love, she says unto me
'Do you like my garden so pure?
You may live in this garden, if you keep my waters clean.
And I will return in the cool of the day'

Now is the cool of the day (x2)
Oh, this earth is a garden, the garden of my love.
And she walks in her garden in the cool of the day

Then my love, she says unto me
'Do you like my pastures of green?
You may live in this garden, if you will feed my lambs.
And I'll return in the cool of the day"

Last, my love, she says unto me
'Do you like my garden so free?
You may live in this garden, if you keep my people free.
And I'll return in the cool of the day"

Now is the cool of the day (x2)
Oh, this earth is a garden, the garden of my love.
And she walks in her garden
In the cool of the day (x3)
