Lyrics
Garden Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm planting myself in the garden,
Believe me.
Between the potatoes and parsley;
Believe me.
And I'll wait for the rain to anoint me,
And the frost to awaken my soul.
I'm looking for lasting relations
With a greenfly, spider, or maggot.
Believe me.
They're telling me something
I don't know, telling me.
They're telling me something,
I think so, telling me.
And I'll wait 'til
I know there's a moment
To get up from my chair by the sea.
And I'll be able to say that i've been there.
Telling me something i don't know,
Telling me.
