Kew Gardens Lyrics - Ralph Mctell

The air was cool on lily pools, 

Hazy lazy, 

And here and there he'd stop to stare 

Admiring all the flowers, 

Wandering round for hours. 

The sun was warm across the lawn 

Scented blended 

He saw her linger 

And With her finger open up a rose, 

Standing on tip toes 

Suddenly the rain came flurrying, 

Sending the two of them scurrying, 

Helter skelter for the shelter 

And feeling bolder in the big pagoda, 

He gently enquired her name, 

And they waited till the sunshine came. 

Kew gardens 

And for a while 

The griffin smiled, 

Kindly, blindly, 

Till the evening bell broke the spell, 

And sadly they said goodbye 

And one of the griffins cried. 

In Kew Gardens.
