The Garden Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

And he was walking in the garden 

And he was walking in the night 

And he was singing a sad love song 

And he was praying for his life 

And the stars came out around him 

He was thinking of his sins 

And he's looking at his songbird 

And he's looking at his wings 

There, inside the garden 

Came another with his lips 

Said, "Won't you come and be my lover? 

Let me give you a little kiss" 

And he came, knelt down before him 

And fell upon his knees 

"I will give you golden mountains 

If you stay a while with me" 

And there was trouble taking place 

Trouble taking place 

There, inside the garden 

They kissed and the sun rose 

And he walked a little further 

And he found he was alone 

And the wind, it gathered 'round him 

He was thinking of his sins 

And he's looking for his songbird 

He was looking for his wings 

And there was trouble taking place 

Trouble taking place 

There was trouble taking place 

Trouble taking place
