Lyrics

I will walk in the garden Feel religion within I will learn how to run with the big boys I will learn how to sink and to swim And there's talk in the houses And people dancing in rings Ah, when you close my eyes, babe? I can see most everything I can see most everything It's just like you said it would be It's just like you said it would be It's just like you said it would be It's just like you said it would be I can see too many mouths open Too many eyes closed, ears closed Not enough minds open, too many legs open Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, do Why isn't it, why, why? I don't see why I listen, why, why? When I've walked in the garden When I'm walking off stage When everything's quiet Will you stay? Will you be my lover? Will you be my mama? I said will you be my lover? I said will you be my babe? When I lay down my head At the end of my day Nothing would, nothing would please me better Than I find that you're there When I lay down my head At the end of my day Nothing would, nothing would please me better Than I find that you're there when I wake Just like you said it would be Just like you said it would be Just like you said it would be Just like you said it would be Will you be my lover? Will you be my mama? Just like you said it would be Just like you said it would be Just like you said it would be Just like you said it would be
