In the garden of love I saw
A moment of sun in her eye
And everything was quiet

In the garden of love I saw
Starlight sigh and shadow move
Faltering, no faltering, faltering

Before you go
A few words for your heart
Before you turn
Something to ponder in your heart as you go

In our garden of love we grew
Roses so red our hearts were busted open
All feeding on the dream we made
The bright and beautiful parade
That bloom by bloom began to fade
And blow by blow, oh

Before you go
A few words for your heart
Before you turn
Something to ponder in your heart as you go

How we tried to make everything right
How we fought and we talked through the night
How we nearly, we made it

In the garden of love I saw
A moment of sun in her eye
And everything was quiet

Stepping out into the light other side of the window
Blinking and blind in the light other side of the window
Falter, no faltering now, other side of the window
Falter, no faltering now, that journey is over, over

There's only so much that our heart can grow
Then everything else starts to overflow
But you're young and in love
Back then there was no way of knowing

So we pushed and we pulled with our nerves of steel
You had the pedals and I had the wheel
And the terrible truth
Is we never knew where we were going

There's only so much that our heart can grow
Then everything else starts to overflow
But you're young and in love
Back then there was no way of knowing
