In my garden of gold, I grow lilacs and limbs
They bloom in strange shapes and wear faces with grins
I once I put a pair of square legs on my back
But they ran way too fast and so I lost track
Of which ones were mine and which were the square
And lads tried to catch me but it wasn't fair
Oh lads tried to catch me but it wasn't fair
It was not fair
In my garden of gold, they got stuck in the mud
And they struggled and struggled and as well they should
A violet arm grabbed them and set them aside
I spied your palm and I slowed down my stride
So the group of us sat there on limbs made of leaves
And the legs off my back fell on petal knees
Oh the legs off my back fell on petal knees
On petal knees
Since then I grow branches of lilac and gold
Wear a smiling grin, like I've always been told
"Just you smile little girl, there, have biscuits and tea"
They lured me in closer and they lied to me
They promised me lands full of red and of green
With hills rolling high and pines tall and lean
They promised me sunshine and ripeness and fruit
That all of my reeds and my flowers will shoot
A place where all colours would cover the fields
I'd discontinue my garden of wealds.
What I didn't notice was when in my mind
I pictured this lushness I slowly grew blind
When I wasn't looking they all took away
The limbs growing limply and set them astray
So they lost their way and they took the next train and
without a word I didn't see them again
I didn't see them again.
In my garden of gold, I grow lilacs and limbs
They bloom in strange shapes and wear faces with grins
I once I wore a pair of square legs on my back
But they ran way too fast and so I lost track
And since then I grow toenails of red and green
Wear a frown on my face, one like you've never seen
"Don't you cry little girl, there, have biscuits and tea"
They lured me in closer and they lied to me
