Lyrics Kew Gardens - 2010 - Remaster - Mary Hopkin

The air was cool on lily pools
Hazy, lazy
And here and there he'd stop to stare
Admirin' all the flowers
Wanderin' 'round for hours

The sun was warm across the lawn
Scented, blended
He saw her linger
And with her finger open up a rose
Standin' on tiptoes

Suddenly, the rain came flurryin'
Sending the two of them scurryin'
Helter skelter for the shelter
And feelin' bolder in the big pagoda
He gently enquired her name
And they waited 'til the sunshine came

Kew Gardens

And for a while the griffin smiled
Kindly, blindly
'Til the evening bell broke the spell
And sadly they said goodbye
And one of the griffins cried
