Shawn Phillips - Talking In The Garden lyrics
Your rating:
Talking in the garden Yelling at the yardman Can you look me in the eye with a clear live gaze Through a knowing haze All of us are slowly Trucking through a world of pain But being through the bane and the flat out rain There's love around the man Kindled by the work that he deems to do his way Savior of a planet in its dying throes He knows what must be done Call upon the sun Your actions intermittent, and you're slightly Non-committal of your plans Passing through the pasture Have you ever asked her If she'd like to spend the day Fill your heart and soul Make you feel real whole Can you make a promise to the wind That sets you free? That you'll help us in our age While we turn the page of life Using our compassion in a way That we know is right Black and white, there's only light Don't you be so mean All is ever changing And my God it's so Amazing what we've seen No is not the answer That could give you cancer Yes is what you have to say To a world at large what a garbage barge When will we begin to try And make some peace And money's such a bitch it can make you Rich and poor to want some more Ironic little rival to the fact Of mere survival, what's in store? Harmony resulting from the force of many minds Of different kinds Waking isn't trite Spin us ever upward, can we do without Our supper for the Light in every being Seeing is believing Loving when we're able Cards upon the table Turn a world of sadness Full of sudden gladness Then we'll have some time to Boogie!
