Woman In The Garden Lyrics - Judybats

Pruning shears in her lovely hands 

Gloves she got for Christmas 

Time demands 

Time for trimming, cutting back 

Keeping a tight rein 

On the domesticated shrubbery 

CHORUS 

Woman in the garden 

She's always been the lovely 

Lady next door 

Sweets for the children 

Alms for the poor 

Woman in the garden 

She's always been the lovely 

Lady next door 

Sweets for the children 

Alms for the poor 

Sweets for the children 

Alms for the poor 

Mace for the rapers 

Wave for the neighbors 

She sure paints a pretty picture 

For everyone 

ANd everyone's concern 

CHORUS 

Woman in the garden 

She's always been the lovely 

Lady next door 

Married to the wrong man 

"Really," my sister says, " a total 

Drunken boor." 

Bruise on her face sometimes 

Or a hitch in her stride 

Sees me in the window now 

And smiles 

Gentle ticking in her face 

Dusting the rocks 

Yellow dress 

CHORUS 

Who's to blame for 

Mistaken attentions and 

Good intent 

And time better spent? 

Anyone's guess
