Lyrics

Garden

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 not telling you to love what I love

I'm asking you to take time to know what it is that you love and love with

And do what you can not to offend your sensitive soul

You've seen things my lips can't confess

No pain can bear witness to

My mind can justify, My memory can wipe

Let me love, let me touch, let me love

Baby, give it up, let me drink from the fountain

In the car, on the street, in the dark

Baby, on the beach, in the back of the garden

Oooh, ooh, ooh, I'm ready

Oooh, ooh, don't stop

Oooh, ooh, ooh, I'm ready

Oooh, ooh, don't stop

You're in the club, how you dance, how you touch

How you offer up all your love and devotion

Roll it up, spark it up, let it burn

On the balcony, and we can fly to the ocean

Oooh, ooh, ooh, I'm ready

Oooh, ooh, don't stop

Oooh, ooh, ooh, I'm ready

Oooh, ooh, don't stop

You make it real, make me feel, make me feel

I'm as strong as steel and as tall as the mountains

Talk is cheap, can you rescue me?

No place I'd rather be than the back of the garden

Oooh, ooh, ooh, I'm ready

Oooh, ooh, don't stop

Oooh, ooh, ooh, I'm ready

Oooh, ooh, don't stop

Once upon a time ago

I threw my cautions to the wind, my friend

And yelled: Geronimo!

And rode the wings of love to outer space

But then I fell a thousand miles to Guantanamo

Euphoria to torture

I left a note that had a rhyme, it go

Love is like a ferris wheel

Love is like a roller coaster

Love is at a standstill

Body after body after body

It's a landfill

And I just caught a body

In the lobby and got my hands filled

I'm a serial lover

I set up all the dates

That rang up fate and got my friends killed

I barely knew my dad, sometimes I feel like my mother

I love that Purple Rain love

That have a fight, that scratch-my-face

That fuck outside and ride my motorcycle in the rain love

Love is like a garden, love is like a death sentence

Love is like a pardon, I'm free again and read

Once outside these prison walls, to believe again is scary

Your garden is my sanctuary

Back of the garden

Oooh, ooh, ooh, I'm ready

Oooh, ooh, don't stop

Oooh, ooh, ooh, I'm ready

Oooh, ooh, don't stop

Yeah, oooh, ooh, ooh, I'm ready

Oooh, ooh, don't stop

Oooh, ooh, ooh, I'm ready

Oooh, ooh, don't stop

Be my confidant, my shoulder, my diary, my best friend

My mentor, my lover, my teacher, my preacher, my one and ending

My everything

From the beam of the sun to the dim of the moon

From before until always I'm yours. So keep me safe within yourself

Bow to my throne, no matter what, and I will stand tall
