Wild Garden Lyrics - Singles - Kara Johnstad

Verse: 

I am a wild garden 

Untamed and oh so free 

Been sitting here 

With the moon and the cats 

Growing majestically 

My vines are all knotted and twisted 

My grass grows straight and tall 

And in the hush of the night 

If you slow yourself down 

You can hear pitter pat on the prowl. 

The path it lies abandoned 

Look around and you'll see the old gate 

There's a deep old well 

Covered by an old wooden board 

Now don't hesitate 

Just, come in and 

Join me for a while 

Chorus: 

Water me 

Water me 

From that deep old well 

It hasn't been used for years 

Spoken: 

The oak said it was dragon tears but the rooster he disagreed. 

Water me, 

Water me 

Douse me and Drench me 

Oh love, 

Pour yourself out on me, 

Soaking me 

As I draw you deep down to my roots... 

Deep deep down to my mighty roots 

Verse: 

I have so many secrets 

The seasons have aged me 

Black Eyed Susans and 

Crushed pine cones 

Rocks mossy and green 

The vines run up the old stone walls 

Wrapping themselves snugly around me 

Coiled, tight they latch on to my skin 

Giving me a strange sense of security 

Now won't you come in and join me for awhile 

Keep me some company 

Chorus: 

And just 

Water me 

Water me 

From that deep old well 

It hasn't been used for years 

Water me, 

Water me 

Drench me and dowse me 

Untwist and untangle me 

Oh love, just pour yourself out on me 

Soaking me, 

As I pull you right down to my roots 

Right straight down to my mighty roots 

Deep deep down to my mighty roots 

Spoken: 

The oak said it was dragon tears 

But the rooster he disagreed 

He decreed that when the old grape vein 

Starts to bear fruit again 

That the waters will turn a bright berry red 

And that we will sip the holy wine 

And that you will sleep nights in the garden 

Outro. 

Water me 

Simply tend to me 

Water me 

Simply tend to me 

As I draw you deep down to my roots 

Deep deep down to my mighty roots
