Her Own Wild Garden
This song is about passion and wanting, and unreachable places.

Listen to a clip of this song

(You'll need an MP3 player to listen.)

Lyrics
She told me love was never planned
Just an accident in time
That beauty always leaves its mark
But never by design

I wanted to believe her
Change nectar into wine
And like the forest and the meadow's edge
We came together

Chorus:

She kept her own wild garden
In one corner of the yard
All pruning was forbidden there
It became her world apart
To preserve her independence
And the darker secrets of her heart
I did not go inside her wild garden

All summer long I watched it grow
Tangled colours without end
And from a distance I enjoyed
Its fragrance on the wind

The tall white aster dancing
With the painted trillium
How I wanted to explore
Her wild garden

Repeat Chorus

So this morning I went down the path
To find another shade
Her garden is a barren place
Her secrets are betrayed

The darkened sky above
Will become my bed of leaves
And soon I will be climbing
Jacob's ladder
