Lyrics
I could pay you to stay
Sit a while, while I tend to things I used to
Money does me no good now
So you can have it all
If I can have all of you back for just a few days
Everything I've grown has gone away
What I could use is a touch of help from you
1st CHORUS:
To remember my garden
It's all weeds and memories now
Hey, but if you come back, it could all come back
And I think I still know how
To grow beauty, yeah, and find a little love again
Here in my garden
I need something to grow
Here in my garden
Made my way out to the street
Swore I heard the idle of the mailman's truck
But he just must have been switching gears
And I should have known
That flag's been stuck down for a lot of years
As if the world has no time for letters
And maybe no time for me
2nd CHORUS:
To remember my garden
It holds the seeds of everything I know
Like the right kind of light
And the sounds of summer
And the time to let it go
On its way to beauty, yeah, and finding some love again
Here in my garden
BRIDGE:
Come with a wheelbarrow
Mine's rusted through
But these old hands are still good for digging
And for wrapping back around you
Here in my garden
