And our land is so terribly dry
And we see no crop
Without the raindrops
And only the weeds will survive
And keep our seeds from thriving
Will we ever see the spring?

I've got my eye on you
And these eyes have a plan
(These eyes have a plan)
I've got my eyes on you
And they weep and you stay
Now won't you please grow for me?

I swore I'd never leave your side
But I'm exhausted
I need my rest
And even when I close my eyes
Oh, these tears continue
They will find their way to you

I've got my eye on you
And these eyes have a plan
(These eyes have a plan)
I've got my eyes on you
And they weep and you stay
Now won't you please grow for me?

I thought I'd never see the day
When the clouds would roll away
In pain and suffering
Bring the rain and bring the spade
Don't cry for me dear
I'm alive and I'm right here
I missed you so damn much then
With no garden to tend

    i agree with the comment above mine^^ about the myth. i think the husband cremated the wife and made a garden where her ashes were. and i also agree that the man/gardener is crazy and has more than one personality. i think that the gardener IS the father! like in china white 1, when he says "Im your gardener." it would make sense that in the 1st one the dad is saying that to the wife. he is her gardener cuz she is under his garden!!!! but in the second one when he says, "with your father GONE, it doesnt say he died, he possibly could of if his other personality "died." but this makes sense to me.

    could b totally off tho. just makes sense to me.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
