Inner Garden Lyrics - Adrian Belew

Autumn has come to rest 

In her garden 

Come to paint the trees with emptiness 

And no pardon 

So many things have come undone 

Like the leaves on the ground 

And suddenly she begins to cry 

But she doesn't know why 

Heavy are the words that fall through the air 

To burden her shoulders 

Caught up in the trees, 

Her soliloquy, 

"don't leave me alone" 

Rome now comes to sit 

In her garden 

Mingling the breeze with memories 

Of a time when 

There was a room with pale yellow hues 

Her room with a view 

Where love made a bed of happiness 

In muslin and lace 

Sweet is the voice from far away 

That speaks sotto voce and 

Is lingering there in the golden air 

To quiet the day
