PJ HARVEY LYRICS - The Garden

"The Garden"



And he was walking in the garden

And he was walking in the night

And he was singing a sad love song

And he was praying for his life



And the stars came out around him

He was thinking of his sins

And he's looking at his song-bird

And he's looking at his wings



There, inside the garden

Came another with his lips

Said "won't you come and be my lover?"

"Let me give you a little kiss"



And he came knelt down before him

And fell upon his knees

"I will give you gold and mountains

If you stay a while with me"



And there was trouble

Taking place

Trouble

Taking place



There, inside the garden

They kissed and the sun rose

And he walked a little further

And he found he was alone



And the wind it gathered round him

He was thinking of his sins

And he's looking for his song-bird

He was looking for his wings



And there was trouble

Taking place

Trouble

Taking place



There was trouble

Taking place

Trouble

Taking place
