Love Is A Garden

I'm sitting here lately Thinking about us maybe Taking a break was a good thing 'Cause we were just children Following a feeling Not knowing love could wither away But looking back it passed so softly But common strangers we could not see Just tired of fighting tired of hanging on But now that you're gone I can see That love is a garden if you let it go It fades away before you know And love is a garden it needs help to grow Ours is starving but there's still hope Come on, baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses Come on, baby, let's make up for what we've been missing Come on, baby, baby, come home Living with each other Soon we discovered just how tryin' it could be You'd stay out all night and you'd say I was uptight And soon we were only fighting But looking back from this side now It's hard to imagine wonder how I thought it was you who was always wrong But I can see That love is a garden if you let it go It fades away before you know And love is a garden it needs help to grow Ours is starving but there's still hope Come on, baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses Come on, baby, let's make up for what we've been missing Come on, baby, baby, come home Well, tough job, broke car, mean boss, And our moms all squeeze like weeds they get in the way Now you're gone and I'm here, I'm missing you dear, We took a break what a mistake What we needed to do was just make some room for me and you. Cause I can see That love is a garden if you let it go It fades away before you know And love is a garden it needs help to grow Ours is starving but there's still hope Come on, baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses Come on, baby, let's make up for what we've been missing Come on, baby, baby, come home Let's throw away our old cell phones Let's just stay in bed Let's just stay home Come on baby, baby come home I'm sitting here lately Thinking about us maybe taking a break was a bad thing Rosey and Mick Mick came home late last night He drank enough beer to take the edge off a knife And she opened the door, looking older than before He said, "Rosey, you're too good a girl" She let him in, he lifted up her dress Like an apology began to kiss her breast And he felt much relieved as the ceiling fan tapped out a broken melody And she said, "Do you remember when we were younger and angry words were said, Making up was always your favorite part Well, I ain't young no more And I'm sorry will not mend a broken heart." He came home threw his things on the floor She worked up the courage to say what she never had before But the words got lost inside He got that look in his eye as the sun went shining on And she said, "Do you remember when we were younger and angry words were said, Making up was always your favorite part Well, I ain't young no more And I'm sorry will not mend a broken heart." Well the judge knew well Mick was a violent man She got a few headlines, she got a slap on the hand And there ain't no villains and there ain't no heroes People on both sides of the tracks trying to add up a whole bunch of zeros And time marches on until it's all gone And she said, "Do you remember when we were younger and angry words were said, Making up was always your favorite part Well, I ain't young no more And I'm sorry will not mend a broken, a broken heart."
