The Garden

When you come to the garden When you walk through the gate You will be saved When you come with the honey When you open your eyes You will decide I've seen the banks of these rivers come Women wild and women behaved When the current comes, each will be saved Go, no, down, down When you wake under branches Flesh to flesh, not the same There you'll remain Wearing your shame Buried under the knowledge That you cannot return What have you learned I've seen all the banks of these rivers come Running wild and running ashamed All these children awake with the waves Cold soft hands, hard surface I will go I won't then Oooh Mortal longing unbecoming Banned from wanting knowledge haunting And all the things I have not said That somehow came along to lift This place I've found, this place I've found And all the times you lost your way The call, I could not show my face My face to you And when I come to bury this I'll know not what it was I missed I missed with you, I missed with you The pearl upon the tide is gone The way I was is nothing more A world apart, a world apart Shame is ageless Sorrow boundless
