Backyard Garden Lyrics

Hot water on cold skin I caught you looking for their silhouettes

Hold me down now and button my coat

It's cold outside and I've got nothing to show but

Into the night now I can hear the lights

Buzzing like soft rain that falls on the rooftops

Where I sit with all that I am

To watch the birds come home

Morning time I held you up to the light and

The light it shown through then you ran up the trellis and

Back to your room where you hid in the stacks now of papers and booze I'm watching them bloom

The flowers in the garden they bear your name

I talk to them sometimes but they ain't sane

I'm watching the rain clouds tumble and fold

Out of the distance and into my hold and now

Look where I stand

And now whispers and I ran

When you looked into the trees did you see something that I couldn't see

With its roots running

Down to the ground may they hold you all swallowed in earth now and keep you

So out to the garden so follow me darling

Let me show you these flowers they're out in the garden

So walk down your trellis and out to the garden

Let me show you these flowers they're out in the garden

But love me darling like you did in the winter

I swear to you now that I ain't the sinner

Love me now that bones are thinner

And I'll speak with the tongue when your eyes are bitter

Look at me now do these eyes look dimmer

It must be all the lights and all the liquor

This waters sheen won't shimmer

Backyard garden love

Will you tell me when is gone too far

Backyard garden love

Will you say when we've lost the start

Backyard garden love

I can see it in your bitter eyes

Backyard garden love

Will you tell me when we've gone too far

Backyard garden love

You see it in those bitter eyes

Backyard garden love

Will you tell me when we've gone too far

Backyard garden love

I see it in those bitter eyes

Backyard garden love

Will you tell me when I've gone too far
