Come in from the garden lyrics

If there were a way of reaching you again I would.

I’d put my arms around you never to let go,

show you all the things I’ve understood,

about the careless plans you laid,

so caringly so I could shine,

when you’re no longer here.

...

while I danced and played

you held the weeds at bay

gave me a chance to win

but calmed my fear of losing

showed me where

to search and find

what I had been given

gave me dreams that I could hold

or leave behind

as I pleased

....

but that’s all past and gone

come in from the garden

and the glare of the light

come in from the garden, daddy, the world’s alright

...

you stand guard in case some hidden fear should come to call

ask for one of us by name

then wait there by the wall

I see you moving in between the days you long for

and those that leave no mark upon your mind

you’re fumbling in the dark

...

though memories still live on

come in from the garden

and the chill of the night

come in from the garden, daddy, the world’s alright

...

Shadows lengthen

and your garden's closing in on you

And you fear those weeds would block you from my view

But daddy, I can see your cigarette

it's still glowing in the dark

You're sighing smoke into the air

And dreaming that I no longer care
