Garden of Eden

Lemon trees, I could sit there for hours

Flowers spoke, and the rain felt like summer

Golden fields, like a fence round our kingdom

And every branch was a new wall of wisdom

We were safe, we were safe in our heaven

And little feet ran around in the garden

But then we learnt, we learnt about grieving

And all was gone, like the garden of Eden

And so the story goes

Of little feet that marched to church to your funeral

They wondered if they'd ever get a mothers love

But they were told they'd meet again

In the Garden of Eden

On the pillowcase, many tears made their patterns

Night and day, while the walls round them shattered

Now other feet they run around in our garden

But at school we laughed, it was our magic armour

And so the story goes

Of little feet that marched to church to your funeral

They wondered if they'd ever get a mothers love

But they were told they'd meet again

In the Garden of Eden

And they heard stories, yeah, people preached

About a land where angels rest

That she is watching us and she's proud

We just have to do our best

So I locked my door and I sang

Played guitar 'till my fingers bleed

One day I'll buy back our house

And the mother I never had

And so the story goes

Of little feet that marched to church to your funeral

They wondered if they'd ever get a mothers love

But they were told they'd meet again

In the Garden of Eden
