Whose Garden Was This Lyrics
Whose garden was this? It must have been lovely
Did it have flowers? I've seen pictures of flowers
And I'd love to have smelled one
Tell me again, I need to know
The forests had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue, and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true?
Whose garden was this? It must have been lovely
Did it have flowers? I've seen pictures of flowers
And I'd love to have smelled one
Tell me again, I need to know
The forests had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue, and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true?
Whose river was this? You say it ran freely
Blue was its colour, I've seen blue in some pictures
And I'd love to have been there
Tell me again, I need to know
The forests had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue, and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true?
Whose grey sky was this? Or was it a blue one?
At night there were breezes, I've heard records of breezes
And I'd love to have felt one
Tell me again, I need to know
The forests had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue, and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true?
Did it have flowers? I've seen pictures of flowers
And I'd love to have smelled one
The forests had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue, and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true?
Did it have flowers? I've seen pictures of flowers
And I'd love to have smelled one
The forests had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue, and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true?
Blue was its colour, I've seen blue in some pictures
And I'd love to have been there
The forests had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue, and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true?
At night there were breezes, I've heard records of breezes
And I'd love to have felt one
The forests had trees, the meadows were green
The oceans were blue, and birds really flew
Can you swear that was true?

I think it's mainly talking about nature When we vit so many trees We will not have forest No blue ocean No river that's it's talking about
isn't it "tell me again, i NEED to know"?
I think it depends from which version are you talking about. There are several recordings, and he may change sometimes a word or two.
Folk songs change. I listen to at least two versions of this with only passing confusion.
As a teenager, I had a fondness for stories that were set beyond either nuclear holocaust or some other reason for modern civilization going the way of the ancient Romans. This song reminds me of these stories.
The land is dead, and child asks an elder to repeat again his stories of a lost world he has never seen, intent on the memories of a fading history.
The song was written by Paxton for the first Earth Day. That should tell you all you need to know.
