Stonegarden

There’s a stone garden were my lover lies
The flowers never grow
They bloom there and die
Much like the day when the earth was stilled up
and tears in my eyes
to the brim they filled up
Days and night pass
but still I must go
to lay in the grass
and weep by the willow
In the stone garden,
the garden,
the garden,
where old seeds are planted but nothing sprouts up
In the stone garden,
the garden,
the garden,
where love lays forever
then turns into dust
Some days I put on my Sunday best
and take a picture in your favorites dress
to lay in beside your permanent bed
and replace the one that’s been blown with the wind
Days and nights pass
but still I must go
to lay in the grass
and weep by the willow
In the stone garden,
the garden,
the garden,
where old seeds are planted but nothing sprouts up
In the stone garden,
the garden,
the garden,
where love lays forever
then turns into dust
Well, I know you want me to live out my life
but I’ve got no purpose,
no reason to try
So, I’ll lay right here
'til that good chariot comes In the stone garden
I’ll set with the sun
In the stone garden,
the garden,
the garden,
where old seeds are planted but nothing sprouts up
In the stone garden,
the garden,
the garden,
where love lays forever
then turns into dust
In the stone garden,
the garden,
the garden,
where old seeds are planted but nothing sprouts up
In the stone garden,
the garden,
the garden,
it’s growing and blooming with lovers like us
