Franks, Michael - How The Garden Grows Lyrics
Winter's hard to rhyme
We're prisoners in some icy pantomime
Just waiting for the wind to change his mind
And sing us green
I hoe and you plant the trees
Canterbury Bells begin to ring
The sparrows are stealing string
Hollycocks and foxglove to the knee
Now life's a major key
We've got mud between our toes
This is how the garden grows
Midnight in July
We see the season spread across the sky
Against the screen
You just love to bite me where it shows
You kiss me then hide my clothes
Running through the sprinklers nearly raw
We've just disproved Newton's law
How can I break even with the weeds
In love so beyond my needs
Blossoms on you Mama's rose
This is how the garden grows

Perfect - from beginning to end. This tune literally takes me away and paints a vivid portrait of all the small pleasures that compose the big picture. Thanks for posting.

@mic32one Hey listen, I think this cat's voice could sooth the average beast. Been going though alot lately, and I turn the cat on and his voice is so smooth and his lyrics mirror my former life. It's bitter-sweet.
Gorgeous song !!! :) Thanks!
Great artist, great song.
(billwill, why do you always change the year 1979 to 2979?)
