And he was walking in the garden
|
And he was walking in the night
|
And he was singing a sad love song
|
And he was praying for his life
|
|
And the stars came out around him
|
He was thinking of his sins
|
And he's looking at his song-bird
|
And he's looking at his wings
|
|
There, inside the garden
|
Came another with his lips
|
Said "won't you come and be my lover ?"
|
"Let me give you a little kiss"
|
|
And he came knelt down before him
|
And fell upon his knees
|
"I will give you gold and mountains
|
If you stay a while with me"
|
|
And there was trouble
|
Taking place
|
Trouble
|
Taking place
|
|
There, inside the garden
|
They kissed and the sun rose
|
And he walked a little further
|
And he found he was alone
|
|
And the wind it gathered round him
|
He was thinking of his sins
|
And he's looking for his song-bird
|
He was looking for his wings
|
|
And there was trouble
|
Taking place
|
Trouble
|
Taking place
|
|
There was trouble
|
Taking place
|
Trouble
|
Taking place
|
