Lyrics:
In my hallucination
I saw my beloved's flower garden
In my vertigo, in my dizziness
In my drunken haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel
I saw myself as the source of existence
I was there in the beginning
And I was the spirit of love
Now I am sober
There is only the hangover
And the memory of love
And only the sorrow
I yearn for happiness
I ask for help
I want mercy
And my love says:
Look at me and hear me
Because I am here
Just for that
I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you
Oh sweet bitterness
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring you roses
I, too, have been covered with thorns
I held a dandelion
That said the time had come
To leave upon the wind
Not to return
When summer burned the earth again.
Cultivate the freshest flower
This garden ever grew,
Beneath these branches
I once wrote such childish words for you.
But that's okay,
There's treasure children always seek to find,
And just like us
You must have had
A once a upon a time.
I used to know this old scarecrow
He was my song
My joy and sorrow
Cast alone between the furrows
Of a field no longer sown by anyone
I held a dandelion
That said the time had come
To leave upon the wind
Not to return
When summer burned the earth again
Oh
Oh
Cultivate the freshest flower
This garden ever grew
Beneath these branches
I once wrote
Such childish words for you
But that's okay
There's treasure children always seek to find
And just like us
You must have had
A once-a-upon-a-time
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Oh (lovely-lovely)
Mama never had a flower garden
'Cause cotton grew right up to our front door
Daddy never went on a vacation
He died a tired old man at forty four
Our neighbors in the big house called us redneck
'Cause we lived in a poor share-croppers shack
The Jacksons down the road were poor like we were
But our skin was white and theirs was black
But I believe the south is gonna rise again
But not the way we thought it would back then
I mean everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I see wooded parks and big skyscrapers
Where dirty rundown shacks stood once before
I see sons and daughters of share-croppers
But they're not picking cotton anymore
But more important I see human kindness
As we forget the bad and keep the good
A brand new breeze is blowing 'cross the southland
And I see a brand new kind of brotherhood
Yes I believe the south is gonna rise again
Oh, but not the way we thought it would back then
I mean everybody hand in hand
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I believe the south is gonna rise again
I believe the south is gonna rise again
Standing here in Mama's flower garden
My teardrops fall down upon the ground
I can hear the wind softly blowing
And it's making such lonely sound
It brings back sweet memories of mama
And the flowers she loved so much
Each flower is special in mama's flower garden
'Cause each flower has mama's special touch
Mama's flower garden
I love it so much
'Cause each little flower
Has mama's special touch
They won't stay pretty much longer
Without mama's care they won't grow
My heart is so sad without you, mama
Oh, mama, I miss you so
I stand here crying
In mama's flower garden
Mama, I love you so much
I can feel you reaching out to me
Oh, mama, I feel your special touch
Mama's flower garden
I love it so much
'Cause each little flower
Has mama's special touch
'Cause each little flower
Has mama's special touch
Safe in my garden
An ancient flower blooms
And the scent from its nature
Slowly squares my room
And its perfume being such
That it's causing me to swoon
Could it be we were hot wired
Late one night, we're very tired
They stole our minds
And thought we'd never know it
With a bottle in each hand
Too late to try to understand
We don't care where it lands, we just throw it
Somebody take us away
Somebody take us away
Safe in my garden
An ancient flower blooms
And the scent from its nature
Slowly squares my room
And it's perfume being such
That it's causing me to swoon
When you go out in the street
So many hassles with the heat
No one there can fill your desire
Cops out with the megaphones
Telling people stay inside their home
Man, can't they see the world's on fire
Somebody take us away, take us away
Safe in our garden
An ancient flower blooms
And the scent from its nature
Slowly squares my room
Take us away, take us away
Mula
Like Adam in the garden of Eve
My bitch got an apple bottom and she swallow my seeds
Follow my lead, fire I breathe, water my sea
And sit back and watch money grow on trees
Droppin' C's like classes, these hoes drop they asses
I drop a seed in her panties, if it smell like pansies
I'm a banshee in her panties, nigga, ask your mammy
Never played golf, but got a driver and a Caddy
Whole squad slammin' like Onyx, you know sticky fingaz
Some dropped science, I'm droppin' English
Even if Tyler, named the song flower
No seeds in the bud, still don't trust bugs
Droppin' seeds on these niggas
They can't fuck with the boy (Mula)
Droppin' seeds on these bitches
For the love of the sport
I'm droppin' seeds, got this garden
Flowers poppin' of course
I'm droppin' seeds, motherfucker
Weezy Baby the boy, yeah
Don't go in the flower garden late at night
Because something there is killing
All the gardeners
Mistletoe and rosemary and the garlic bud
Won't protect you like it
Did from the gardeners
Run to your homes, save all your wine
There's a gardener coming
And there is something hanging
In the willow tree
Take a look and see if it's the gardener
Carry something silver in your bleeding hand
Whistle and you wish away the gardeners
And run to your homes and save all your wine
There's a gardener coming
And there is something hiding
Behind the greenhouse door
Take a look and see if it's the gardener
Moonlight never looked so strange
To me before
Could those misty shadows be the gardeners
Run to your homes and fly up the stairs
There's a gardener coming
Safe in my garden
An ancient flower blooms
And the scent from its nature
Slowly squares my room
And its perfume being such
That it's causing me to swoon
Could it be we were hot wired
Late one night, we're very tired
They stole our minds
And thought we'd never know it
With a bottle in each hand
Too late to try to understand
We don't care where it lands, we just throw it
Somebody take us away
Somebody take us away
Safe in my garden
An ancient flower blooms
And the scent from its nature
Slowly squares my room
And it's perfume being such
That it's causing me to swoon
When you go out in the street
So many hassles with the heat
No one there can fill your desire
Cops out with the megaphones
Telling people stay inside their home
Man, can't they see the world's on fire
Somebody take us away, take us away
Safe in our garden
An ancient flower blooms
And the scent from its nature
Slowly squares my room
Take us away, take us away
Well come gather around me friends of mine,
While I sing to you about a minstrel band
Of children in their witches hats,
Painting pictures with the pipes of pan
How a young boy and his sister played some tunes
Upon a whistle made of tin
And led me through the flower gardens,
Laughing at the postman's stubby chin
And in my dizzy stupor,
I was trying to forfeit all I'd known
And listen to that music that could swirl me in a magic all it's own
But somewhere in the distance,
You and I, we fought our monsters to a draw
It was in those days of books and wine,
With Ferlin Getty grasping for a straw
And out along the highways,
We journeyed far to find that mystic smile
Chasing down identities,
My God we must have run a million miles
So we can teach the children,
Nothing, nothing but survival in the desert bare
They can teach us how to laugh,
How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair
So sing for us you children,
Tinkle bells and rhyme the purple, greens and blues
Think of us as fighting fools,
Who wintered through our seasons loving you
Think of us as fighting fools,
Who wintered through our seasons loving you
'Cause you can teach us how to laugh,
How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair
The birdies in the treetops
Sing their song
The angels chant the chorus
All day long
The flowers in the garden
Blend their hue
So why shouldn't I
Why shouldn't you
Praise him too
The birdies in the treetops
Sing their song
The angels chant the chorus
All day long
The flowers in the garden
Blend their hue
So why shouldn't I
Why shouldn't you
Praise him too
So why shouldn't I
Why shouldn't you
Praise him too
The birdies in the treetops
Sing their song
The angels chant the chorus
All day long
The flowers in the garden
Blend their hue
So why shouldn't I
Why shouldn't you
Praise him too
The birdies in the treetops
Sing their song
The angels chant the chorus
All day long
The flowers in the garden
Blend their hue
So why shouldn't I
Why shouldn't you
Praise him too
So why shouldn't I
Why shouldn't you
Praise him too
I held a dandelion
That said the time had come
To leave upon the wind
Not to return
When summer burned the earth again.
Cultivate the freshest flower
This garden ever grew,
Beneath these branches
I once wrote such childish words for you.
But that's okay,
There's treasure children always seek to find,
And just like us
You must have had
A once a upon a time.
Don't go jumping waterfalls
Please keep to the lake
People who jump waterfalls
Sometimes can make mistakes
And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a second needs an hour
Like a raindrop needs a shower
Yeah I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away
And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a castle needs a tower
Like a garden needs a flower
Yeah I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away
Don't go chasing polar bears
In the great unknown
Some big friendly polar bear
Might want to take you home
And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a castle needs a tower
Like a garden needs a flower
Yeah I need love, say I need love
Like a raindrop needs a shower
Like a second needs an hour
Every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away
Don't go jumping waterfalls
In the city, Naples by the sea
Antoinette of dreamland waits for me
Through the flower scented gardens
Down the steps into the street
Through the meadow down by the sea
To the secret place where we shall meet
I don't know why I let go
I want to be your friend
Flowers grow through my window
And I love you again
Oh, I love you, oh
When you laid me down
Into your beautiful garden
Flowers in the love of my arms
It's God shining through to me I guess
It's God shining through to me I guess
Oh, I love you, Amy
Do you still love me'
I go to the places where we used to
I feel sad
I am out here looking for you
Sometimes I pretend
Oh, I miss you, oh
When you laid me down
Into your beautiful garden
Flowers in the love of my arms
Is God playing evil tricks on me'
Is God playing evil tricks on me'
Oh, I love you, Amy
Do you still love me'
Oh, I love you, oh
When you laid me down
Into your beautiful garden
Flowers in the love of my arms
Is God playing evil tricks on me'
Is God playing evil tricks on me'
Oh, I love you, Amy
Do you still love me
Do you still love me
Do you still love me
Do you still love me
Do you still love me
Do you still love me
Do you still love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
I don't know why I let go
I want to be your friend
Flowers grow through my window and I love you again
Oh, I love you oh
When you laid me down into your beautiful garden
Flowers in the love of my arms
It's God shining through to me I guess
It's God shining through to me I guess
I love you Amy
Do you still love me?
Boots were of leather
A breath of cologne
Her mirror was a window
She sat quite alone
All around her
The garden grew
Scarlet and purple
And crimson and blue
She came and she went
And at last went away
The garden was sealed
When the flowers decayed
On the wall of the garden
A legend did say:
No one may come here
Since no one may stay
Boots were of leather a breath of cologne
Her mirror was a window she sat quite alone
All around her the garden grew
Scarlet and purple and crimson and blue
She came and she went and at last went away
The garden was sealed
When the flowers decayed
On the wall of the garden a legend did say:
No one may come here since no one may stay
Warm winds on a space ride
When I call your phone on a late night
I recall your soul had a taste like
Gardens, flowers, warm winds
The clouds below your feet
Quit clipping on your wings
Sometimes we hate to leave somebody
What's happening to we?
You never gonna change me
You ne'
You never gonna change me
I was already changin'
You never gonna change me
You ne'
You never gonna change me
I was already changin'
I wish I could protect you
That was all wasted
Flower something new
I wish I could perfect you
I was wrong they say
Now I'm over you
Flowers in the garden that won't grow
Flowers on the train, it's not the same
Flowers in the garden
Life won't grow if we never change
You never gonna change me
I'm missin'
You never gonna change me
I was already changin'
You never gonna change me
You never gonna change me
I was already changin'
You never gonna change me
I wish I could protect you
I was wrong they say
Findin' someone new
Now we stop the pretendin'
Kinda hard to listen
While they're talkin'
Flowers in the garden that won't grow
Flowers on the train, it's not the same
Flowers in the garden
Life won't grow if we never change
You never gonna change me
I'm missin'
You never gonna change me
I was already changin'
You never gonna change me
You never gonna change me
I was already changin'
You never gonna change me
Could it be our love wasn't planted deep enough
Or could it be we just didn't try
Looking back we see so much that we left undone
We should have known it would wither and die
Flowers won't grow in gardens of stone
The ground must be tended but we left it alone
The seeds that we scattered are all parched and blown
Flowers won't grow in gardens of stone
Thinking bout it now it was only pride I know
There was so much that we wouldn't give
Both of us in time took what might have been a home
And made it a place where nothing could live
Flowers won't grow...
Call her moonchild
Dancing in the shallows of a river
Lonely moonchild
Dreaming in the shadow
Of the willow
Talking to the trees of the
Cobweb strange
Sleeping on the steps of a fountain
Weaving silver wands to the
Night bird's song
Waiting for the sun on the mountain
She's a moonchild
Gathering the flowers in a garden
Lovely moonchild
Drifting on the echoes of the hours
Sailing on the wind
In a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones on a sun dial
Playing hide and seek
With the ghosts of dawn
Waiting for a smile from a sun child
Call her moonchild
Dancing in the shallows of a river
Lonely moonchild
Dreaming in the shadow
Of the willow
Talking to the trees of the
Cobweb strange
Sleeping on the steps of a fountain
Weaving silver wands to the
Night bird's song
Waiting for the sun on the mountain
She's a moonchild
Gathering the flowers in a garden
Lovely moonchild
Drifting on the echoes of the hours
Sailing on the wind
In a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones on a sun dial
Playing hide and seek
With the ghosts of dawn
Waiting for a smile from a sun child
