I Am the Garden

I did it wrong while my boots were on

I planted all

I wanted roots and love songs

but the dirt was dry

and the seeds were strong

now they've grown wild

where they don't belongI am the garden

I have the fruits you wanted

I am the garden

just danced in open handsand do all the friends and neighbors have to say

where every leaf uncurls in the likeness of my face

and are you haunted by my leaving of that place

hey hey

and the now scarecrow of my ghost keeps me awayand now I hold nothing much

and I have grown my babies up

and how I moved I was a great machine

and it was true I gave life to every thingI am the garden

I have all the fruits you wanted

I am the garden

just danced in open handswell I wasn't welcome anymore in the same way

you shut me up on the wrong side of the garden gate

and I wondered how to scale the fence I made

hey hey

and I gave up that hope and surrendered to the changeI did it wrong though my boots were on

I planted all I wanted roots and love songs

but the dirt was dry and the seeds were strong

now they've gone wild where they don't belongI am

I have all

I am

just danced in open hands

just danced in open hands

just danced in open hands

just danced in open hands
