Celia's Garden Lyrics - Singles - The Dimes

fifth avenue, noon in the corner saloon 

watchin the september moonrise 

connecticut barns put on their charms, 

they'll make you wise 

the red cross nurse follows a hearse, 

you know she's silently weepin 

but like the woods in the fall, 

she's sheddin her tears after all 

and by the early mornin calm 

all her worries will be gone 

and she'll be lyin there in celia's garden 

now battery park sat in the dark 

under the late afternoon skies 

while the messengers march 

by washington arch 

he'll put you wise 

the etcher, in awe, 

she stare at tangara 

you know she's silently weepin 

but while the bricklayers fall, 

she's already dressed for the ball 

and by the early mornin calm 

all her worries will be gone 

and she'll be lyin there in celia's garden
