Paul England - In Your Garden Lyrics

You were digging alone in your garden all morning
Could you feel the sunlight penetrate your skin
Did you ever stop to wonder
Why your love has grown thin

You dug deep, deeper than the worm
Who lives inside of me
If that worm could speak to you
He would tell you how he longs to be free

And the rain begins to fall
The clouds begin to coil
Your hands, they look so small
And they leave no trace at all
Beneath the soil

In your garden, you were sleeping as your lovers all drowned
And the petals they had offered were now rust
They left behind a message for you
That everything you touch will turn to dust

So you laid out the corpses, recorded their names
And prayed to each and every one
Could you have tried to care for them
This way, before the rain had come

And night begins to fall
The rain begins to boil
Your hands, they look so small
And they leave no trace at all
Beneath the soil

You were digging alone as your garden was torn
By the night and by the storm
But still you kept on digging
For the visions of love that you had formed

Then you planted little statues where your lovers had been
As sunlight filled the open sky
Arranged beneath the burning sun
The corpses are now dry

And your statues have grown tall
But their swords are made of foil
Your hands, they look so small
And they leave no trace at all
Beneath the soil

And the rain begins to fall
The clouds begin to coil
Your hands are so very small
And they leave no trace at all
Beneath the soil
