My garden took what gardens take
To guard me from insanity
But lonesome souls like me and you
Can do the same without it being
Or is it to much to ask from you?
Before you go if you could
Make me happier than I can be
Then I shall be so grateful
But such wonder-dreams are not for me
I knew you once
Before my time was over
When I couldn’t dream
But darling when I couldn’t dream
I couldn’t see you
Oh it’s been, such a long long
God it’s been such a long long time
It seems like you’ve noticed that I’m bleeding from my heart
And from my knees
Who’s it for I’m climbing trees
Who’s it for I’m climbing
Please climb to the highest tower
Though just a note will wait for thee there
Just a note-- well, wait for me
It would say, I am running
Me, I would say I am running
After you, after you
But oh my God, my song is flooded
And oh my God, I knew I’d forget
You, my God, here no regrets will do
Regrets will do
But I did what you asked me to do- I buried the bones in my garden, oh you,
I buried my poems in your garden
It’s true; I won’t be back by dawn.
