The Garden - Tim O'Brien

There’s place in the garden you go when you’re happy

A place in the garden you sit when you’re blue

I sit by your side in the shade of the willow

Your head on my shoulder, my arm around you

While you tell me the one that you love has departed

Leaving you lonely and so broken hearted

And I can’t find the words to say how much I love you

How your broken heart is breaking mine too

If I had told you that sweet summer night

We walked in the garden beneath the moonlight

How lovely you are and how I want you so

Would you have listened, now I’ll never know

The long day is ending, the shadows are falling

The meadowlark’s calling her mate to come nigh

The evening is nearing and the daylight is dying

The soft breeze is sighing a mournful goodbye

While you tell me the one that you love has departed

Leaving you lonely and so broken hearted

I can’t find the words to say how much I love you

How your broken heart is breaking mine too

No, I can’t find the words to say how much I love you

How your broken heart is breaking mine too
