Backyard Garden

Hot water on cold skin I caught you looking for their silhouettes Hold me down now and button my coat It's cold outside and I've got nothing to show but Into the night now I can hear the lights Buzzing like soft rain that falls on the rooftops Where I sit with all that I am To watch the birds come home Morning time I held you up to the light and The light it shown through then you ran up the trellis and Back to your room where you hid in the stacks now of papers and booze I'm watching them bloom The flowers in the garden they bear your name I talk to them sometimes but they ain't sane I'm watching the rain clouds tumble and fold Out of the distance and into my hold and now Look where I stand And now whispers and I ran When you looked into the trees did you see something that I couldn't see With its roots running Down to the ground may they hold you all swallowed in earth now and keep you So out to the garden so follow me darling Let me show you these flowers they're out in the garden So walk down your trellis and out to the garden Let me show you these flowers they're out in the garden But love me darling like you did in the winter I swear to you now that I ain't the sinner Love me now that bones are thinner And I'll speak with the tongue when your eyes are bitter Look at me now do these eyes look dimmer It must be all the lights and all the liquor This waters sheen won't shimmer Backyard garden love Will you tell me when is gone too far Backyard garden love Will you say when we've lost the start Backyard garden love I can see it in your bitter eyes Backyard garden love Will you tell me when we've gone too far Backyard garden love You see it in those bitter eyes Backyard garden love Will you tell me when we've gone too far Backyard garden love I see it in those bitter eyes Backyard garden love Will you tell me when I've gone too far
