Garden Rose

I'll never stop a bullet but a bullet might stop me

I'll never drink the ocean but the ocean might drink me

And I'll never raise a portrait to a gentle man in blue

And I'll never sing a love song for a love that isn't true

I love how the garden grows

And I love the garden rose



And I'll never sweep the alley though the alley might be clean

And I'll never be for countries though I one day might be mean

And I'll never be the master of a fortune with a name

And I'll never know the difference though I might just know the same

I love how the garden grows

And I love the garden rose



So I started to remember how to live in present time

But I wanted to remember how it was when you were mine

And I'll never know the reason or season or the time

Why we couldn't live together with out a daily crime

I love how how the garden grows

And I love the garden rose

I love the how the garden grows

And I love the garden rose...
