The Garden

When you come to the garden
When you walk through the gate
You will be saved

When you come with the honey
When you open your eyes
You will decide

I've seen the banks of these rivers come
Women wild and women behaved
When the current comes, each will be saved

Go, no, down, down

When you wake under branches
Flesh to flesh, not the same
There you'll remain
Wearing your shame

Buried under the knowledge
That you cannot return
What have you learned

I've seen all the banks of these rivers come
Running wild and running ashamed
All these children awake with the waves

Cold soft hands, hard surface

I will go
I won't then

Oooh

Mortal longing unbecoming
Banned from wanting knowledge haunting

And all the things I have not said
That somehow came along to lift
This place I've found, this place I've found

And all the times you lost your way
The call, I could not show my face
My face to you

And when I come to bury this
I'll know not what it was I missed
I missed with you, I missed with you

The pearl upon the tide is gone
The way I was is nothing more
A world apart, a world apart

Shame is ageless
Sorrow boundless
