I Am The Garden Lyrics - Changing Light - Mirah

I did it wrong while my boots were on 

I planted all 

I wanted roots and love songs 

but the dirt was dry 

and the seeds were strong 

now they've grown wild 

where they don't belong 

I am the garden 

I have the fruits you wanted 

I am the garden 

just danced in open hands 

and do all the friends and neighbors have to say 

where every leaf uncurls in the likeness of my face 

and are you haunted by my leaving of that place 

hey hey 

and the now scarecrow of my ghost keeps me away 

and now I hold nothing much 

and I have grown my babies up 

and how I moved I was a great machine 

and it was true I gave life to every thing 

I am the garden 

I have all the fruits you wanted 

I am the garden 

just danced in open hands 

well I wasn't welcome anymore in the same way 

you shut me up on the wrong side of the garden gate 

and I wondered how to scale the fence I made 

hey hey 

and I gave up that hope and surrendered to the change 

I did it wrong though my boots were on 

I planted all I wanted roots and love songs 

but the dirt was dry and the seeds were strong 

now they've gone wild where they don't belong 

I am 

I have all 

I am 

just danced in open hands 

just danced in open hands 

just danced in open hands 

just danced in open hands
