Gardenerette

I've been by your side for the longest I've known Seen you in the world and apart from it too Passed through many seasons as the shades in your hair I can read your mind by a glance of your face Named every beauty mark that's graced your skin Know every sin that stains your soul Know you feel alone and I'm right there with you Teaching you to not well that's a question for life The gardenerette labored through life A lover of mine through and through time She's given it her all she thinks it's never quite enough And I know I know I'm to blame Your mother always jealous she never had a green thumb You wanted her love, but she was bitter toward you Had you work her fields and swiped the firstborn card Twenty-something now but still a child at heart The gardenerette labored through life A lover of mine through and through time She's given it her all she thinks it's never quite enough And I know I know I'm to blame You've planted roses and lilies in the field Petals o' plenty yet you're cautious for thorns I know you're scared you've got mother's hands Telling you you don't well that's my purpose to you The gardenerette labored through life A lover of mine through and through time She's given it her all she thinks it's never quite enough And I know I know I'm to blame
