Songtexte And There's Ivy at the Gate - Deborah Stokol

I waited all night for the ivy to grow
On the gate
Its progress was slow
And it arrived late
But it arrived eventually

It coils around the walls
And I hope that it stays
Forever

Each leaf bears the name
That I know

In the red flame and poison
The devil won't lie there
There's a purple so royal
It's fit for a queen

Whether fig or of grape
It's the fruit that sustains you
Wrapping around your gate
As you sleep

Oh the green strands of ivy
Surround me
Oh the green strands of ivy
Have come

I waited all day for the ivy to grow
On the gate
Its progress was slow
And it arrived late
But it arrived eventually

It coils around the walls
And I hope that it stays
Forever

I'll hold it within my heart
As I go
