Winter's hard to rhyme
|
We're prisoners in some icy pantomime
|
Just waiting for the wind to change his mind
|
And sing us green
|
April starts to whisper to the trees
|
I hoe and you plant the trees
|
Canterbury Bells begin to ring
|
The sparrows are stealing string
|
Hollycocks and foxglove to the knee
|
Now life's a major key
|
We've got mud between our toes
|
This is how the garden grows
|
Midnight in July
|
We see the season spread across the sky
|
We wake up to a nosy dragonfly
|
Against the screen
|
You just love to bite me where it shows
|
You kiss me
|
Then hide my clothes
|
Running through the sprinklers nearly raw
|
We've just disproved Newton's law
|
How can I break even with the weeds
|
In love so beyond my needs
|
Blossoms on you Mama's rose
|
This is how the garden grows
|
