Lyrics The Garden Song - Amanda Shires

I let him into my garden
A bad mistake
And what used to be lovely
Has gone away

Gone away, the sparrows
And the silver leaf plums
Fruits have fallen wasted
And left spoiling in the sun

Oh what a mess he made
Oh what a mess he made

Our shape in the lilies
Crushed where we lay
And withered went the roses
Thorns and shame

Thorns and shame
He took with him the rain
He took what was lovely
And left me hollow here to waste

And oh what a mess he's made
Oh what a mess he made

Oh what a mess he made
Oh what a mess he made

He overturned the silver fountain
Now it's water's running mud
And ruined all reflections
And ruined my love

My love, my love
Down fell the doves
Gray-eyed and flightless
Down fell the doves

Oh what a mess he made
Oh what a mess he made
