Garden of Tears

(solo)

Strumming slow, reminiscing blues, swingin' in my shoes

Oh, the garden of my dreams, where the sunlight streams

From a broken city water pipe, to a withered plant's cry

Let's sing a tale of gloom, 'bout the love that's gone dry

(Solo)

When I stood alone that day, looked at folks in dismay

Contempt in my gaze, lost in a smoky haze

Realized in time that shallow views, only bring misused blues

A gardener's heart beats true, with a beast inside, brand new

Oh, with every flower I tend, I make amends

For the rivers I once ignored, for the earth I defend

Sunshine on my face, in this sacred space

Gotta water those roots, no more slow disgrace

In my garden of paradise, where the three flowers rise

Chasing the sun’s warm embrace, under cloudy skies

Love’s the only water, in this bluesy swing

Mother Nature’s cry, makes my heart sing

Old swing rhythm, with a old twist, the blues persist

Echoes of the old vibe, when lives were kissed

By the truth of the earth, and the gentle birth

Of hope renews, as the flowers, choose the sun

(Solo)

So I plant with care, 'cause I truly swear

To preserve this earth, our fragile fair

The blues may linger, but hope’s a singer

In my garden, free, where love will be

Leaveing you to be yourself free

widout me
