Garden of Eden

Can I not know you, is that far out of sight?

To see your ways as clear as day as darkness differs light.

Can I not feel you like blood inside my veins?

Is every man across the land alive to die in vain?

I have been haunted by the memories of old.

How could a child that was full of joy grow a heart so cold?

I was excited when I first heard the news,

That a man could turn to stand again and learn to face the blues.

I'm wanting back to the way things were.

We walked around the Garden of Eden.

I named the animals You made me from dirt.

Roaming around the Garden of Eden

I feel so guilty but I know it's not my fault,

To be a slave in every way to all that I've been taught.

I know it's pointless like a penny in a well

To wish my enemies would look at me as clearly as themselves.

I lit a beacon at the summit of a mount

I could see it all so perfectly, the business in the town.

That's when I noticed that which sets us all apart

Is a shadow bold and lingering on every broken heart.

I'm wanting back to the way things were.

We walked around the Garden of Eden.

I named the animals You made me from dirt.

Roaming around the Garden of Eden

I'm wanting back to the way things were.

We walked around the Garden of Eden.

I named the animals You made me from dirt.

Roaming around the Garden of Eden.

The way things were.

The Garden of Eden.
