The Garden (What a Mess) Lyrics
I let him into my garden, a bad mistake
And what used to be lovely has gone away
Gone away the sparrows and the silver leaf plums
Fruit's have fallen wasted and left spoilin' in the sun
Oh, what a mess he made
Oh, what a mess he made
Our shape in the lilies, crushed where we lay
Withered with the roses and thorns and shame
Thorns and shame, he took with him the rain
He took what was lovely and left me hollow here to waste
And oh, what a mess he's made
Oh, what a mess he made
Oh, what a mess he made
Oh, what a mess he made
He overturned the silver fountain
Now it's water's runnin' mud
And ruined our reflections
And ruined my love
My love, my love, down fell the doves
Gray-hearted, flightless, down fell the doves
Oh, what a mess he made
Oh, what a mess he's made
And what used to be lovely has gone away
Gone away the sparrows and the silver leaf plums
Fruit's have fallen wasted and left spoilin' in the sun
Oh, what a mess he made
Withered with the roses and thorns and shame
Thorns and shame, he took with him the rain
He took what was lovely and left me hollow here to waste
Oh, what a mess he made
Oh, what a mess he made
Now it's water's runnin' mud
And ruined our reflections
And ruined my love
Gray-hearted, flightless, down fell the doves
Oh, what a mess he's made
