Well now the rain washed back yesterday bringing thoughts of wasted time
And the water it brought flowed swiftly through your mind
Opening your eyes to the stars just to pray
Hoping more rain will wash your garden away
But your flowers just bloom
Ever bright ever proud
Screaming I hate you so loud
Sister, sister, tell me will you ever bow
To what grows in your garden now
Oh, in your garden now
Oh, yes, the weeds of consequence they get more day by day
Of decisions you could have better made
Paper flowers they sparkle by an old tree butt
Just remember even paper flowers cut
Your garden shakes with the wind
But it will not fall down
Scattering seeds all around
Sister, sister, tell me will you ever bow
To what grows in your garden now
In your garden now, yeah
Somewhere on the landscape lies a place next to your heart
But the grass grows wide and even
And soon that too will be torn apart
Your garden shakes with the wind
But it will not fall down
Scattering seeds all around
Sister, sister, tell me will you ever bow
To what grows in your garden now
