My Garden of Love

Oh the sun and the rain fell from up above And landed on the earth below, In my garden of love Oh there's a rose for the way your spirits rose when we met, A forget-me-not to remind me to remember not to forget, A pine tree for the way I pined over you And an ash for the day I ashed you to be true And the sun and the rain fell from up above And landed on the earth below, In my garden of love Well there's a palm tree that we planted when we had our first date, A turnip for the way you always used to turnip late, Your mother and your cousin Chris, they often used to come So, in their honour, I have raised a nice chris-an'-the-mum Oh the sun and the rain fell from up above And landed on the earth below, In my garden of love Oh there's a beetroot for the day that you said that you'd beetroo' to me, A sweet pea for the sweet way you always smiled at me, But you had friends who needed you, There was Ferdy, there was Liza So in their honour, I put down a load of ferdy-liza And the sun and the rain fell from up above And landed on the earth below, In my garden of love But Gus the gardener's gone now and you went with him too, The fungus here reminds me of the fun Gus is having with you; The rockery's a mockery, with weeds it's overgrown, The fuchsia's gone, I couldn't face the fuchsia all alone And my tears fell like raindrops from the sky above, And poisoned all the flowers in my garden of love.
