This is one of my favorite songs so I will gladly share the meaning.
(I was sleeping in the garden when I saw you first)
So, this describes Adam from Genesis being put to sleep in the Garden of Eden so God could make Eve
(He'd put me deep, deep under so that he could work)
This goes into further detail of him sleeping so Eve could be created.
(And like the dawn you broke the dark and my whole earth shook)
When Eve entered his life, he was lonely before. He has someone to be with now. She broke his loneliness ( if that makes sense )
I was sleeping in the garden when I saw you
( repetition )
(At last, at last
Bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh, at last)
This describes how God made Eve from Adam's own flesh
(You were the brightest shade of sun I had ever seen
Your skin was gilded with the gold of the richest kings
And like the dawn you woke the world inside of me
You were the brightest shade of sun when I saw you)
This all describes how he loved her and adored her
(At last, and you will surely be the death of me
But how could I have known?)
Sure enough, Adam didn't know that Eve would be the death of him by convincing him to eat the fruit of the garden.
I was sleeping in the garden (oh oh)
I can show you
I was sleeping in the garden ? (oh oh)
