RETURN TO THE GARDEN

I took clippings from a life I couldn't propagate Plant them round the posts of the garden gate Water, water everywhere and still our roots would shrink Water water everywhere but not a drop of wine to drink Took a look around and it was fairly grim They used to make me promise I would pray for them So I told them with a wink that I'd be back someday The smile behind the lie - a dead giveaway We trained the vine May our hearts be overgrown We trained the vine In the grove we are alone Pinned to the ground now Underneath the sound now Who holds you down When there's no one else around We trained the vine We are ever intertwined We trained the vine We are ever intertwined Calm before the sun slips away Before the night shadows day You bring us wine with the rain You bring us wine with the rain Your roots are bound now Can't recall the sound now How are we to drown In a juice so unprofound We trained the vine We are ever intertwined Forever yours forever mine Calm before the sun slips away Before the night shadows day You bring us wine with the rain You bring us wine with the rain I trained the vine to bind You bring us wine with the rain I trained the mind divine You bring us wine with the rain Traveled the mountains Sailed every sea Wandered the desert Swam gutters in the city I've stood in drought, I've stood through storm With only memories of you to keep warm I've braved the fire, withstood the frost I am within but forever I am lost A tale this old is sold for gold Woven through gates in the garden The more it's told, more overgrown Woven through gates in the garden I used to pray for myself Now I only pray for you A tale this old is sold for gold Woven through gates in the garden I took clippings from a vine I'd never seen before Then realized I was laying on the garden floor The sound is overwhelming so I beg your pardon We've always been woven through gates in the garden
